Begovo Pole
Begovo Pole ( mk, Бегово Поле; sq, Fusha e Beut) (meaning ''Bey's field'') is a karst field on the Jakupica range, on the north side of peak Solunska Glava, located in central North Macedonia. The field is 1.5 km long and 500 to 1000 m wide and it is slightly sloped westwards. There is a small stream flowing through it forming a few karst lakes and then loses among the sink holes. The water that is lost on Begovo Pole appears at the springs of Babuna river The Babuna River (in mk, Бабуна река) in North Macedonia is a right tributary of the Vardar. It collects water from sink holes on Begovo Pole and flows from the southern flank of the Jakupica range. It is alimented by the Kamen Ledni ... on the other side of Solunska Glava. There are several speleological studies conducted on the karst topology around Solunska Glava. It is assumed that beneath the peak there are enormous reservoirs of freshwater, which coincides with the old name for the mountain ...

Karst Field
Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone Limestone ( calcium carbonate ) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime. It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of . Limestone forms whe ..., Dolomite (rock), dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions. Subterranean drainage may limit surface water, with few to no rivers or lakes. However, in regions where the dissolved bedrock is covered (perhaps by debris) or confined by one or more superimposed non-soluble rock strata, distinctive karst features may occur only at subsurface levels and can be totally missing above ground. The study of ''paleokarst'' (buried karst in the stratigraphic column) is important in petroleum ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jakupica Range
Jakupica ( mk, , ) or Mokra ( mk, Мокра, ) is a mountain range in the central part of North Macedonia. The headwaters of the Axios river ( grc, Ἀξιός), mentioned by Homer (Il. 21.141, Il. 2.849) as the home of the Paeonians allies of Troy, spring from its flanks. Geography The highest peak is Solunska Glava . Other significant peaks are: Karadžica (, 2,473 m), Popovo Brdo (2,380 m), Ostar Breg (2,365 m), Ubava (, 2,353 m), Ostar Vrv (2,275 m), and Dautica (2,178 m). The mountain range can be easily approached from the capital Skopje, or from the town of Veles and many villages in the area. On clear days, from the peak Solunska Glava, one can see the city of Thessaloniki in Greece. Environment The relief is criss-crossed by numerous clear and fast mountain rivers. Large areas are covered with beech, oak, and conifer forests. There are also obvious traces of the primeval glaciation from the diluvial period. A number of institutions have been recommending this area (a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Losing Stream
A losing stream, disappearing stream, influent stream or sinking river is a stream or river that loses water as it flows downstream. The water infiltrates into the ground recharging the local groundwater, because the water table is below the bottom of the stream channel. This is the opposite of a more common ''gaining stream'' (or ''effluent stream'') which increases in water volume farther downstream as it gains water from the local aquifer. Losing streams are common in arid areas due to the climate which results in huge amounts of water evaporating from the river generally towards the mouth. Losing streams are also common in regions of karst topography where the streamwater may be completely captured by a cavern system, becoming a subterranean river. Examples There are many natural examples of subterranean rivers including: Bosnia and Herzegovina * Unac; Mušnica-Trebišnjica- Krupa/Ombla (Trebišnjica is considered to be one of the largest sinking rivers in the world; ...

Babuna River
The Babuna River (in mk, Бабуна река) in North Macedonia is a right tributary of the Vardar. It collects water from sink holes on Begovo Pole and flows from the southern flank of the Jakupica range. It is alimented by the Kamen Lednik glacier through the Bogomila Falls Bogomila Falls, better known as Babuna Falls are waterfalls located north of the village of Bogomila in the Municipality of Čaška in North Macedonia.

The country is part of the wider region of Macedonia and makes up most of Vardar Macedonia. The country is a major transportation corridor from Western and Central Europe to Southern Europe and the Aegean Sea.
