The lime here is cut by many caves, entrances and galleries. The largest cave is the Dark Hole, where there is an underground river. Its waters come to the surface in the form of a swift-flowing carst spring, known by the name of Jitolyub. The cave is characterized by an interesting fauna. The Dark Hole is not adapted for mass visits, although it is often visited by tourists. | |||||
