Karst system Swabian Jura - karst water, caves, sinkholes, limestone tuff
During this excursion, various karst structures in the Swabian Jura were visited. The participants were given an insight into the hydrogeology of the Swabian Alb karst system. The excursion was accompanied by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Ufrecht. Wolfgang Ufrecht is a speleologist and geologist. He has been studying karst and caves in the central Swabian Jura for over 30 years. His research focuses on karst development and the age of the caves in the Blautopf catchment area.
