Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox UNESCO World Heritage Site The Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst are a series of over 1000 karst caves spread out over a total area of Шаблон:Convert along the border of Hungary and Slovakia.[1] With an exceptional diversity of karst structures and complex cave systems developing from both temperate and tropical processes, the caves and surrounding areas were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.[1]

Background

This UNESCO World Heritage Site includes seven components, three of which are in Hungary, and four in Slovakia. In Hungary, the components include Aggtelek, Szendrő-Rudabánya Hill, and Esztramoill. The components in Slovakia are Dobšiná Ice Cave, Koniar plateau, Plešivec plateau, and a component neighbouring Silica and Jasov.[1]

Of the more 1000 caves listed in the site, there are several notable caves and cave complexes:

Шаблон:Designation list Baradla-Domica Cave complex is Шаблон:Convert long with approximately one fourth of that on the Slovak side and the rest in Hungary. The first written mention of Baradla cave dates back to 1549 and from 1920 it serves as a tourist attraction. Ján Majko discovered Domica Cave (Slovak part of the complex) in 1926 and the tourist circuit opened to public in 1932 has more than Шаблон:Convert. Cave was inhabited as far as 5000 BC and is an important archeological site of Bükk Culture. Temperature in the Slovak part varies between Шаблон:Convert with a humidity above 95%.

Gombasek Cave was discovered in 1951 with 530 out of its Шаблон:Convert opened to the public from 1955. The cave is also experimentally used for "speleotherapy" as a sanatorium, focused on airway diseases thanks to constant temperature of Шаблон:Convert, high humidity of 98% and favorable microclimate. Geomorphologically it is one of the youngest but nevertheless also one of the most impressive caves in Slovakia with extraordinary decoration that gave it the nickname "Fairy tale cave".

Dobšiná Ice Cave was added to the list of components of this World Heritage Site only in the year 2000. The cave was discovered in 1870 by Eugen Ruffinyi, though the entrance was known long before. Being open to the public just one year after its discovery, in 1887 it became the first electrically lit cave in Europe. Approximately one third of its Шаблон:Convert length is open from May to September. Thickness of the ice on the floor approaches Шаблон:Convert, with a surface area of Шаблон:Convert and estimated volume of Шаблон:Convert of ice. Average temperature is Шаблон:Convert and relative humidity between 96 and 99%. This cave is among the most beautiful and the most richly decorated ice caves in the world.

Although Ochtinská Aragonite Cave is just Шаблон:Convert long with a tourist circuit not longer than Шаблон:Convert, it is famous for its rare aragonite filling since there are only three aragonite caves discovered in the world so far. In the so-called Milky Way Hall, the main attraction of the cave, white branches and clusters of aragonite shine like stars in the Milky Way. The cave was discovered in 1954 and opened to the public in 1972. Temperature in the cave is around Шаблон:Convert with relative humidity between 92 and 97%.

Jasovská Cave was partly opened to the public in 1846, making it the oldest publicly accessible cave in Slovakia. The lower parts of the cave were discovered from 1922 to 1924. More than one third of its Шаблон:Convert total length is open to the public. Paleolithic and Neolithic archeological artifacts were found in the cave together with those of Hallstatt Culture.
