    Hiking

    The word "karst" means something like stony ground and comes from Serbo-Croatian. Karst areas have specific surface forms, which are called karst phenomena. Due to the dissolving effect of ground and surface water, a separate type of relief and a specific water cycle are formed.

    Be careful not to slip on this as getting your foot stuck in karst could be very bad
