Karst is a geological phenomenon, first described in Slovenia. This area is called Kras or Karst, which means rocky place. Since then all areas with a similar geological situation are called Karst Areas.
Beside caves there are much more interesting geological features in karst areas. They are normally not recognized as karst features by the people.
