The Upper Part of the Una River Valley Between Martin Brod and Pritoka - Geomorphological Characteristics
Andrija Bognar
Abstract
The Una River Valley has complex characteristics defined by the interchange of gorges, basins and valley extensions. The river has adapted itself to the primary geologic structure and to the activity of tectonic movements. The longitudinal profile of the river is the result of numerous rapids, cascades and waterfalls, the formation of which is connected with calcareous sinter accumulation. Morphogenetic analysis has shown that a series of very attractive and strange relief forms is being formed in the riverbed of the River Una such as calcareous sinter barriers, sinter riverbeds, calcareous sinter islands and caves.
