A barlangok, zsombolyok leírása - név szerinti lista

(mélység szerinti listát – lásd itt!)

As a memeber of the Gömör-Tornai-karstfield, the Lower-Hill (Alsó-hegy) is rising by being bounded by the triangle of Bódva- and Ménes-brooks from the south and the Torna-brook from the north and it is cut into two by the Slovak-Hungarian border in the direction of West-East.(60% of it is Hungarian). It is reaching far on the west and is connected to the Szilicei-plateau.

The area is a low karstic-mountain with the direction of west-east and is widened to the south in the middle. It has the extension of 50km² and is made up by „horst”-s with the average height of 4-500 meters above the sea, the highest point of it is the 615m high Páltútfej (Pavlovski vrch). The regions of the plateau are divided with small relative difference between the levels. The medium-hills of the higher peaks are rising above their surrounding with not too steep sides, and on these emerging rocks and furrowed surfaces can be seen. The north-south sides of it are made up by steep slopes with the average height of 300 m, on which bottom there are flowing karst-springs with the height of 200m above the sea. These mainly have the water collector areas with A-type karstic forms which follow faithfully the effects of the weather. Water-flow on the surface can only be seen on the hill-sides, around the springs and the short-living shower-brooks which are formed by the sudden, rich rainfall. On the plateau the karstic seep in to the cracks of the rocks are usual.

The area itself can be divided into three large units as follows: The valley laying in the direction of about north-south next to Vidomájpuszta, in which there is the Szögliget-Szádalmási road connecting the valleys of Torna and the Bódva, separates the so called West-side, which includes the Derenki-base and is connecting to the Szilicei-plateau by reaching far above the Rabló-rock.

The area of the Lower-Hill’s most characteristic karstic field is about 30 km², which has been attracting the attention of speleologyists for a long time with it’s deep depressions with a diameter of a few hundred meters and deep shafts.

Separately can be discussed the Kis- or Szögligeti-plateau, the strongly dissected area to the south which reaches as a wedge between the Bódva and Ménes-brooks. This is also separated by morphology because of its varied rock structure.

Most caves with the most significant sizes-mainly shaft-can be found on the Szilas-plateau. These are the characteristics of the area and are opened in the side of the dish-shaped cavities – töbör - with huge size and no flow down. (usually in the upper 2/3 of it). Now there are 108 shafts known in the area, from these 64 can be found on the Hungarian side. Only a few classic water-collector caves are known. It’s spreading is limited mainly to the west-side and the south-west edge of the Szilasi-plateau. Apart from the area of the Szilasi-plateau (West-side, Dusa), the number of today’s known caves is less and their sizes are more modest. The parts of the spring-caves on the hill-side discovered until today are also not too significant (5-15m). With their known sizes they don’t cause big excitment to the toursit cavers but are being targets of the opening activities.

The Kis-plateau and the West-side are the easiest to approach from the disection of Szögliget, while the most caves found on the Szilasi-plateau are situated closer to Bódvaszilas village. Komjáti and Tornanádaska can be a suitalbe starting point to look for the few caves and springs which can be found at the Eastern end.
