“…The biggest cave in Gorce is Zbójnicka Jama. It is 50 meters long and about 10 meters deep (Szczęch, Czarnota, 2015), and located in the area of the peak of Jaworzyna Kamienicka (Margielewski, Urban, 2000, 2002. The caves are precious objects and are protected by the Natura 2000 program.…”

“…The research of these two phenomena was interconnected in the new millennium (Baroň, Cílek, & Melichar, 2003;Klimeš et al, 2012;Lenart et al, 2014;. Thanks to the existence of the open underground space, there is a unique chance to study the internal structure of landslide bodies from within (Baroň, Bečkovský, & Míča, 2014;Lenart et al, 2014;Margielewski & Urban, 2003). Pseudokarst caves have become a source of information on landscape evolution.…”

“…Also studies conducted outside the study area, but that deal with a similar topic, should be noted. Margielewski and Urban (2003) investigated crevice type caves in relation to the evolution of gravitational slope deformations in the Polish Flysch Carpathians. Later they provided a morphogenetic classification of the caves connected with gravitational slope development (Urban & Margielewski, 2013).…”

The paper presents complex results of a dataset related to the pseudokarst caves in the area of the Czech Outer Western Carpathians. We collected the data from all 130 discovered and described caves of different types and dimensions in various geomorphic units and lithologies. We mainly focus on the results of the morphometric parameters of the caves as well as of the areas with their entrances. The final map sheet presents the Main Map with the position of the caves, their size category, type, classification of the position within the slope deformation and natural protection status. Moreover, the final map sheet also contains a supplementary map of the distribution of the caves, diagrams of their morphometric parameters, detailed maps of Mraznica and Cyrilka Caves, a graph of overwintering bat species in Cyrilka Cave and structural measurement diagrams. The map is intended to be used as introductory material into the problems of pseudokarst caves. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The development of the caves is described and widely discussed in Margielewski and Urban (2003), Pánek et al (2010) and Lenart et al (2014). CTCs occur in various rock types, such as clastic rocks (Winkelhöfer, 1975;Vítek, 1983;Wagner et al, 1990;Pánek et al, 2010;Lenart et al, 2014), limestones (Pánek et al, 2009), chalk (Rodet, 1983), basalts (Gaál and Gaál, 1995), granites (Finlayson, 1986), gneisses (Demek and Kopecký, 1999), and others.…”

“…CTCs are very often developed in incoherent sedimentary flysch deposits, e.g., in sandstones and conglomerates with intercalations of shales such as siltstones and claystones (Wagner et al, 1990;Margielewski and Urban, 2003;Urban and Margielewski, 2013;Lenart et al, 2014).…”

I evaluate crevice-type caves in the Outer Western Carpathians from the morphological point of view at different scales, from the overall arrangement of cave passages within the massif, to their shape and finally to the micro-morphological features of their walls and ceilings, using examples from the Czech part of the Carpathians. The cave passages are typically parallel to and follow the strike of the slope, but the passages of relatively large caves are typically fan-like arranged. Vertically, the passages are organized at particular levels governed by lithology. They can be staircase-shifted with each other. The gradual opening of the uppermost level may lead to deformation of the surface terrain, however, this terrain can be entirely flat, which gives evidence of the gravitational widening of the caves from the inside of the massif. In cross-section, the passages are A, V, or H letter shaped, according to the type of gravitational movement leading to their development. The various micromorphological features that originate from sedimentology, tectonics, gravitational processes, and mechanical and chemical weathering sometimes mark the exposed walls and ceilings.
