Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst

阿格泰列克洞穴和斯洛伐克喀斯特地貌

The official record, selection criteria and sourced cultural context.

World Heritage record

The variety of formations and the fact that they are concentrated in a restricted area means that the 712 caves currently identified make up a typical temperate-zone karstic system. Because they display an extremely rare combination of tropical and glacial climatic effects, they make it possible to study geological history over tens of millions of years.
