Sažetak
Caverns discovered during the construction of road tunnels in the area of Lika, Dalmatia and around the city of Rijeka belong mainly to the Adriatic hydrological basin. However, in the interior of Lika, some caverns also belong to the Black Sea basin. Numerous examples of caverns were found in the tunnels “Sveti Rok”, “Mala Kapela”, “Brinje”, “Plasina”, “Grič”, “Bristovac”, etc., on the A-1 highway and the tunnel “Sveti Ilija” in Dalmatia. In “Pećine” Tunnel in the city of Rijeka, a connection with the Adriatic Sea was found in a cavern. In these areas, there are numerous deep and complicated caves that sometimes have watercourses in their interior. Hundreds of caverns in tunnels in the Dinaric Karst in Croatia were explored and documented.
