Places of Pre-Christian, Pagan cultures at the heart of Europe connected with female figurines
The Pekárna Cave
The Magdalenian Culture
The Venus from the Pekárna cave has a typical shape of the Venuses, as depicted by the culture named Magdalenian.
(Compare the Venus of Pekárna with Magdalenian the female engravings from Gönnersdorf, Germany below,
or see the information on Gönnersdorf Venus figurines in Wikipedia here.)
The Venus is about 15,000-15,500 years old.
Engravings of animals (bison, horses, reindeer) and other artefacts have also been found on the archaeological site of the Pekárna cave.
Although the Pekárna cave is located just several kilometres north-east of the outskirts of Brno , (the largest Moravian city with 380,000 inhabitants),
it lies in the area of the nature reserve of Moravský kras (the Moravian Karst).
The Moravian Karst is a splendid, heavily forested area of caves and cave systems (many of them full of spectacular dripstones), chasms, rocks,
subterranean rivers and streams and their streamsinks and resurgences, crisscrossed with marked paths.
