The northwestern part of the Ljubljana Basin between Kranj and Radovljica is called Gorenjske Dobrave (Woodland of Upper Carniola) and consists mainly of different conglomerate terraces of Pleistocene age. Udin Borst is one of the highest and most likely the oldest terraces in this area. It stretches about 7 km in a south east direction and is up to 2.5 km wide. Based on various factors, the karst of Udin Borst has been interpreted as conglomerate karst (Habic, 1981; Gabrovsek, 2005; Kranjc, 2005), shallow karst (Žlebnik, 1978) and isolated karst (Habic, 1981). The aim of this paper is to describe the geological, morphological and genetic characteristics of the caves of Udin Borst with special attention to porosity types which have a strong influence on the cave type or its morphology. As a result, a classification of the caves is introduced. Within the research a wide range of literature about the characteristics of eogenetic and conglomerate karst and caves and also about karst and caves in conglomerate of Udin Borst was examined. The main part of the research was based on field work, which included detailed speleological analyses of caves and morphological analyses of the conglomerate terrace.
