Moldava nad Bodvou – Szepsi

The valley belongs amongst the most beautiful places in the Slovak carst and it has become of a great value even abroad of the country thanks to its natural value. Slovak carst is the largest carst area in Central Europe. The vastness of the limestone layers without impermeable rock inlays enabled the extensive process of the carsting.
The most beautiful morphological structure of the Slovak carst is undoubtedly the Zádiel valley gap. Millions of years the water of Blahnický creek washed out the llimestone rocks and thus widened its channel. The gap is directed from the north to the south, somewhere its walls are vertical. In the top two thirds they are widening to the "V" shape.
