    Tips

    August 4, 2018

    What is karst? Karst is rugged limestone.

    Origin: The soluble limestone is eroded by the weathering and the slightly acid rain. This creates cracks, crevices, gullies and caves in the rock.

    Water network: The water can be drawn through the openings directly into the depths and drain in the heavily ramified underground water network.
