cave system

A cave system is a network of natural underground chambers and passageways formed through the process of rock erosion, usually by water flowing through soluble rocks like limestone. Over time, mineral-rich water dissolves the rock, creating tunnels, voids, and unique formations such as stalactites and stalagmites. These systems can extend deep underground and may connect multiple caves. They provide habitats for specialized wildlife and hold valuable geological, hydrological, and archaeological information. Exploring cave systems involves navigating these underground landscapes, which can range from easy walks to complex, challenging adventures.
