 The karstic areas of Croatia abound in over 850 caves and other nature holes. They con be found on the mainland, on islands, by rivers, on the sea bed and in the mountains. For over half of them all we know is that they exist, but everything else is unknown and they are yet to be thoroughly investigated, Some of the more attractive caves, include those in Istria, Gorski kotar, on the mountains of Medvednica (whose range is higher than Zagreb), Papuk (wich includes the regions of Kordun, Lika, Dalmatia and Zagora) - are open to visitors with no previous experience in speleology. Their inventory is varies from dripstones (such as stalagmites and stalactites), curtains and all the other fascinating features found in caves. |
