Several types of contact karst are found within the Slovenian karst, but the most common is the ponor type, which appears between flysch and limestone. The most extensive contact of this type is in western Slovenia, in the area of Matarsko podolje, where a variety of typical contact karst depression features can be found. Relict alluvial fans on contact karst are the result of the gradual denudation of alluvial cover from flysch and chemical denudation of carbonate bedrock in the area of alluvial fans. Geomorphologic features and processes on alluvial fans, and the influences of alluvial fans on the development of local karst have been investigated in detail
