Sažetak
...In last 125 years, from the time when the first speleological organisation were founded in Croatia (in the year 1892), and after foundation of Geological Institute (1909) in Zagreb, many milestones and challenges were existed in people who were involved in this part of human activity – Karstology and speleology. At the beggining in was only few people who tried to understand problems of karst and cave genesis. They started to explored caves and everything in relation with them, in one very poor and small country. In that time they had no any support. But results were incredible and recongnised in world science of that time – as exploration of cave and discovering a World known very rich Neanderthal site of early man today known as „Krapina man“ (Krapinski pračovjek) (Dragutin Gorjanović Kramberger, 1899) or discontinuity between the Earth's crust and the mantle (Andija Mohorovičić, 1909) today called „Moho discontinuity“ all over the World. Later, many theories about of ground water flow in hydrogeological and tectonical discusians and papers were started in Croatian karst area. Knowledge about speleologenesis were in near contact with neotectons movements of plates (Adriatic and Dinaric). Really vertical tectonics in Croatian caves and karst springs (pits, shafts, channels) needs geological, hydrogeological and speleological explainations and this is a big challenge. That tectonics in correlation with radon concentration in caves without natural entrances. There are many examples for that in Croatian karst...
