“…Polášek (2006) odsud popisuje částečně zavalenou štolu "Zbujnicze dziury" po těžbě železných rud, která podle jeho názoru vznikla umělým rozšířením pseudokrasové pukliny a posléze měla být využívána ovčáky k úschově mléka. Lokalita je však pravděpodobně pro Vnější Západní Karpaty typickou rozsedlinovou jeskyní (Lenart -Miklín 2017), evidovanou pod názvem Pod Úplazem. Výdřeva může opravdu pocházet z působení ovčáků.…”

Although relatively extensive extraction of the pelocarbonate iron ore in the Podbeskydská pahorkatina Upland and the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. have terminated until the end of the 19th century, the remnants are rarely preserved in the recent relief as collapsed shafts, mining pits, dumps or their combinations. The adits are occurring infrequently, because the majority of them are completely collapsed or at least the entrance is filled up with rocks. Similarly, the shafts formerly many meters deep, are recently reflected only as shallow concave hollows. Distinct post-mining landforms are still preserved e.g. in Chlebovice, Libotín near Štramberk, Čeladná or Kozlovice villages. The causes of wrong preservation of these forms, which stood at the beginning of the Ostrava industrial agglomeration, are as: (i) mining in the incoherent fine flysch rocks, (ii) primitive mining methods without wooden setts, and (iii) intensive anthropogenic activities after the mining termination in the landscape. Some of the localities with preserved free underground spaces are remnants after the mining of the other or the related materials, or even crevice type caves. Because of the historical importance of the iron ore mining in the wider area, I would recommend consideration of at least some basic protection of preserved landforms. Otherwise, at the present rate of the landscape changes intensity, they would shortly vanish.

“…Quiet good the pseudokarst caves, particularly gravitational, are studied the Flysch areas of Poland (Margielewski & Urban, 2017;Zatorski, 2014) and Czechia (Lenart & Miklín, 2017). In Ukrainian Carpathians the exploration and mapping of caves is provided mainly by amateur cavers of Ukrainian Speleological Association and different local speleological clubs.…”

Non-Karstic Speleogenesis in Sandstone Rocks of Ukrainian Carpathians

Due to the limited distribution of karst rocks and, accordingly, the small number of karst caves in the Ukrainian Carpathians, the caves of non-karst (pseudokarst, clastokarst) genesis attract considerable attention from cave researchers. The latter most often develop in massive and coarse-grained sandstone strata, usually found as part of flysch strata. The caves of non-karstic genesis are widely spread in the Cretaceous and Paleogene sandstone formations of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Most of them are developed in the massive sandstone of the Yamna Formation of the Palaeocene. The primary information about all caves on the territory of Ukraine is collected by the Commission for Accounting and Documentation of Caves of the Ukrainian Speleological Association (UkrSA), and by local caving clubs and individual researchers. Currently, the number of discovered caves in the sandstone of the Ukrainian Carpathians exceeds the number of mapped caves, not to mention their detailed description. The minimal information about each cavity includes the name, entrance coordinates, total length, and depth (amplitude) resulting from the cave survey. The additional description could contain knowledge about the history of the cave discovery, origin, geological settings, microclimate, sediments, inhabitants, paleontological and archaeological remains, etc. At present, many caves have been discovered in a few microregions: Kliuch Ridge, near Skole; the tract Drybka, between Yaremche and Yamna; on Sokilsky Ridge, and its south-eastern orographic continuation at tracts Protiate Kaminnia and Lekeche; Polonyna Runna; Lubnia Village; and Chorna Gora Ridge. Few yet not mapped cavities are known in Bubnyshche, Synytsia Mt., and some other sites. Most caves belong to three genetic types: tectonic, gravitational, and selective corrosion. The largest among tectonic caves is Tectonic (Dovbush) cave near Yamna Village, which is 388 m long. The longest selective-corrosion cave is 92 m long. Some caves with fissure-like morphology could also be of cryogenic origin. We suggest that the caves with the fissure-like morphology are the forms of paleoseismic dislocations. Keywords: sandstone; pseudokarst; speleogenesis; selective corrosion; Ukrainian Carpathians.
