31. Because of the karstic properties of the rock, there are many caves in the park. 32. Karstic terrain with caves, subterranean rivers, arches, and unusual weathering are found here.33. The karstic nature of the mountains favoured the formation of several caves, more than 400. 34. The Pet�n lowlands are formed by a densely forested low-lying limestone plain featuring karstic topography. 35. On the west is the Schrattenfluh ( 2, 092 m ), a large karstic mountain. 36. At the base of these iron deposits are manganese-rich layers in karstic depressions and infills. 37. This variety is due to the lower river valleys, the sea coast and the karstic terrain. 38. A special feature of the limestone, resulting from its weathering by water, is its karstic nature. 39. They have very steep slopes made out of limestone and are the most karstic mountains in the Balkans. 40. It is a largely denuded karstic mountain, beaten by the persistent winds that blow in the region.
