Karst Features

Each feature is given a unique identification number, and many are also given a name. This list is restricted to named features. For conservation reasons, the precise locations of features are not made available to the public. However, most features are allocated to an area. The list shows karst features (e.g. a cave entrance), not cave systems, so caves with 2 or more entrance points will appear multiple times in the list.
