Thank you showing us!

That is a magnificent feature!

A very strange structure too, in the surrounding landscape having been eroded down past the shaft so it stands rather like a vast chimney.

I forget the local word for shafts like this (I think it is tiankeng or similar), on a scale unknown elsewhere in the world; but I believe it has been adopted as the correct term by geologists, just as they respect the Japanese tsunami, Arabic wadi and the Icelandic geyser (slightly Anglicised pronunciations).

As for landscape generally formed by the dissolution of limestone, as that is, its generic term "karst" is Slovak: kras.

What a beautiful region, anyway!

Reminds me of the anime 'made in abyss'. Which is super creepy btw
@pride49 whats the premise?

Creepy monsters and plant life the deeper you go. Also, higher and higher chances of explorers going cray-cray@TryingtoLava

Now just how do they know what is at the bottom of the hole? 2,172 feet of rope is one heck of a lot of rope to climb down! Almost half a mile of rope. Putting it up would be easier. Yet still take a long time.
@DeWayfarer underground river outa a cave into a waterfall :)
