Hranická propast, verified in 2016 by a remotely operated submersible as reaching at least 404 metres below the surface, holds the record for the deepest known underwater cave in the world. The abyss opens in a wooded area east of Hranice, where thermal mineral water fills a flooded karst shaft that descends far beyond what divers can safely reach. Exploration continues to probe whether the true bottom lies even deeper.
Hranice itself has roughly 19,600 inhabitants and sits on the Bečva river in the Olomouc Region, where the Moravian Gate lowland provides a natural corridor between Moravia and Silesia. The town's position on this route gave it strategic value for centuries, and a Renaissance château overlooking the river survives from the period when the Žerotín and Pernštejn families controlled the area.
