Sažetak

This paper is based on an analysis of the geomorphological features of Ivančica Mountain as an element of geodiversity. Fieldwork and GIS analysis identified fluviokarst as the dominant morphogenetic relief type, covering more than 70% of the study area. Key features include pronounced vertical dissection, the development of doline networks, and significant hydrogeological elements such as springs and the Šebastjanovec Ponor. The research highlights the interplay of lithological composition, tectonic activity, and surface processes in shaping the relief. Ivančica is a crucial hydrological divide between the Drava and Sava river basins, with diverse valley network types reflecting both endogenous and exogenous influences. Despite its geomorphological and landscape value, Ivančica remains unprotected. This study provides a scientific basis for its conservation in line with geodiversity and geoheritage principles. The results, including a geomorphological map, form the foundation for future interdisciplinary research and underscore the importance of Ivančica in regional geodiversity and sustainable landscape management.
