Abstract

Špilja Vindija nalazi se u sjeverozapadnom dijelu Republike Hrvatske, u istočnom dijelu Ravne gore, najsjevernije gore Republike Hrvatske. Pripada joj istaknuto mjesto među svjetski poznatim špiljskim lokalitetima zbog nalazišta fosilnih ostataka neandertalaca. Najopsežnija istraživanja špilje provedena su između 1974. g i 1986. g. pod vodstvom Mirka Maleza. Špilja je formirana u stijenama litotamnijskog vapnenca, duga je pedesetak metara, široka 28 metara i visoka preko 20 metara. Ulaz se nalazi u uskoj dolini potoka Šokot, na 275 metara nadmorske visine u Križnjakovom brdu. Nastala je udruženim erozijsko-korozijskim djelovanjem vode u tektonski poremećenim stijenama, a u posljednjoj fazi speleogeneze, u tijeku je proces urušavanja špilje čime se mijenja njezin prvobitni izgled. Kako špilju nije moguće promatrati izdvojeno jer je sastavni dio šireg okolnog krajolika, u radu su analizirane i geomorfološke značajke okolnog područja te je utvrđeno oblikovanje reljefa fluvijalnom erozijom, padinskim procesima, procesima korozije u tektonski poremećenim i razlomljenim stijenama podložnim okršavanju te utjecajem čovjeka (antropogeni reljef).

Abstract (english)

Vindija is a karst cave located about 2 km from the village of Donja Voća on the eastern portion of Ravna gora, region Hrvatsko zagorje. Vindija consists of a single, funnel-shaped chamber over 50 m long, 28 m wide and 20 m high. Vindija is the best known of these sites owing to its important collection of Neandertal fossils. The biggest effort in the cave exploring was made by Mirko Malez between 1974 and 1986. The entrance (275 m asl) overlooks the narrow gorge on the northwestern slope of Križnjakovo brdo/Križnjakov vrh. The cave was formed by water eroding and dissolving the rock. In the last stage of speleogenesis the cave ceiling is in the process of collapsing what results with the change of the cave construction. Because the cave can't be analyzed without surrounding area and geological structures this thesis analyzes geomorpfological features of the surrounding area. Fluvial relief, slope relief, karst relief and anthropogenic relief were indentified in this area.
