Spiš-Gemer Karst, Karst formation in Slovenské rudohorie Mountains, Slovakia
The Spiš-Gemer Karst encompasses limestone plains and high plateaus, reaching elevations between 800 and 1000 meters above sea level in eastern Slovakia.
The geological development of Spiš-Gemer Karst began millions of years ago through the erosion of limestone deposits, creating an extensive network of caves.
The region maintains strong connections to Slovak mining traditions, with numerous settlements preserving the heritage of mineral extraction throughout the centuries.
Visitors can access the karst formation through marked trails starting from Spišská Nová Ves, with guided tours available from local exploration centers.
The area contains two national parks, Slovak Paradise and Muránska planina, featuring distinct underground river systems and natural limestone bridges.
