Sažetak
The Munižaba cave is located in the SE part of the Velebit Mountain range called Crnopac. Crnopac massif is mostly built of the upper Paleogene and Neogene carbonate breccias, in literature known as Jelar breccias. Due to the specific mechanical and petrographical properties of Jelar breccias, the terrains built of these breccias are characterized by the extremely developed solution karst landforms, and also the entrance parts of the majority of the deepest explored caves in Croatia are developed in them. Several significant caves are thus discovered in the Crnopac area, whose main morphological characteristic is a network of multiphase cave passages, some of them with very large cross-section dimensions. The most important caves of Crnopac massif are Munižaba (5993m, - 437m), Kita Gaćešina (10603m, -456m), Burinka (325m, -290m), Gornja (Upper cave) (2682m, -42m) and Donja (Lower cave) Cerovačka pećina (1295m, - 22m). The above mentioned caves have not been physically connected by cavers yet, but their corresponding levels probably belong to the same paleodrainage systems. During the recent speleological explorations of the Munižaba cave, microclimatic measurements of cave air temperature, humidity and air circulation, radon concentration measurements and physical and chemical analyses of drip water have been performed periodically in some places.
