The karst of Padurea Craiului mountains and the system of Tinoasa-Ciur-Toplitza de Rosia (Romania) Padurea Craiului mountains represent one of the most interesting karstic area of Romania. The existence of limestones affected by a lot of tectonics accidents had done this mountains to have distinct morphological aspects. The relative developed hydrographie network, together with the geological structure and the favourable tectonic, brought about a lot of endokarstic and exokarstic phenomena too. This is very clear in Runcuri plateau which lodges the karstic systems Tinoasa-Ciur-Toplitza. The influence of the tectonic of this system is demonstrated by the underground observations about the fissures. The development of these systems, as well as the morphology of the caves, are influenced by the structure and texture of the different jurassic limestones.
