Ouhrabka V., Mlejnek R. & Rejl J.: Remarkable Sandstone Cave Area near the Town of Dvůr Králové nad

The article describes up to date belittled area where 14 caves, ranching from 3 to 25 meters in length have recently been discovered and documented.

They are located on the both banks of the Labe/Elbe River, between the village of Debrné and the Les Království water reservoir near the village of Dolní Nemojov, eastern Bohemia. From a point of view of morphological and developmental pseudokarst typology, most of them, namely ten, are broken ones, one is fissure one, one strata one, while two are combined ones. In five caves, root dripstones, namely two stalagnates and thirteen stalagmites, were found. Moreover, speleological and biospeleological surveys have not finished there yet.
