The cave is located in the northern part of the Moravian Karst, between the town of Sloup and the village of Ostrov.

The cave itself is characterised by extensive tunnel passages with varying amounts of fluvial deposits and screes.

Amatérská Cave can be entered by one natural entrance in Cikansky Sink Hole or through an artificial one under Konsky Spad in Pusty Zleb canyon.

In 1800 a first map of the Sloupské Caves (the small lateral part of whole system only) was created.

Systematic research began in the second half of the 19th century, when Dr.Jindrich Wankel and Martin Kriz published the first scientific studies of the Northern Part of Moravian Karst.

1970 and the deaths of amateur speleologists Milan Šlechta and Marko Zahradníček after, gave name the cave.
