| The Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst is a UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of 712 caves spread out over a total area of 55,800xc2xa0ha (138,000 acres) along the border of Hungary and Slovakia. | WIKI |
| The Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst are outstanding for the large number of complex, diverse and relatively intact caves concentrated into a relatively small area. | UNESCO |
| Karst processes have produced a rich diversity of structures and habitats that are important from a biological, geological and paleontological point of view. | UNESCO |
| While the karst continues to develop in mountains of medium height and under temperate climate conditions, sediments and fossil landforms provide ample evidence of Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary subtropical and tropical climatic conditions as well as periglacial denudational activity during the Quaternary. | UNESCO |
| Shaped over tens of millions of years, the area provides an excellent demonstration of karst formation during both tropical and glacial climates, which is very unusual and probably better documented here than anywhere else in the world. | UNESCO |
| The interactions between geological karst processes occurring on the surface with those occurring beneath make this area a natural field laboratory. | UNESCO |
| Criteria (viii):xc2xa0The property Caves of Aggtelek and Slovak Karst, while typical of many karst localities in Europe, is distinctive in its great number (with 712 recorded at time of inscription) of different types of caves found in a concentrated area. | UNESCO |
| Geological processes causing karst features to be buried by sediment and then later reactivated or exhumed provide evidence pertaining to the geologic history of the last tens of millions of years. | UNESCO |
| Relicts of pre-Pleistocene karst (i.e. | UNESCO |
| These include rounded hills that are relicts of tropical karst later modified by Pleistocene periglacial weathering. | UNESCO |
| This suite of paleokarst features, showing a combination of both tropical and glacial climates, is very unusual and is probably better documented in the Slovak Karst than anywhere else in the world. | UNESCO |
| More than 99% of the Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst is preserved in its original natural condition and is well protected. | UNESCO |
| Maintenance of the integrity of active geological and hydrological processes (karst formation and the development or evolution of stalagmites and stalactites) requires integrated management of the entire water catchment area. | UNESCO |
| Aggtelek Karst is administered by the Aggtelek National Park Directorate and the Slovak Karst is managed by the Slovak Karst National Park Directorate (surface) and Slovak Caves Administration (caves). | UNESCO |
| The main protection and management requirement is to ensure strict control over surface activities in order to avoid agricultural pollution, deforestation and soil erosion that may affect the quality and quantity of water infiltrating the karst. | UNESCO |
| Further research and exploration is needed with regard to the interconnection of the karst cave system. | UNESCO |
