Slovak Karst, Limestone mountain range in Eastern Slovakia.

The national park extends over 440 square kilometers of plateaus, containing 1100 caves and deep abysses formed through limestone dissolution.

The area received protection status as a landscape area in 1973 before achieving national park designation in 2002 to preserve natural formations.

The caves within Slovak Karst contain evidence of human settlements dating back 4000 years, including tools and cave paintings.

Visitors need proper hiking equipment and detailed maps from applications like OsmAnd for navigation through the demanding karst terrain.

The Domica Cave system stretches 25 kilometers underground, connecting with Hungary's Baradla Cave through natural limestone passages.
