725 HU/SK - Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst (1995)

Brief Description

"The variety of formations and the fact that they are concentrated in a restricted area means that the 712 caves currently identified make up a typical temperate-zone karstic system. Because they display an extremely rare combination of tropical and glacial climatic effects, they make it possible to study geological history over tens of millions of years."

阿格泰列克洞穴和斯洛伐克喀斯特地貌

"变化多端的岩层结构以及顺序排列在有限空间内的712个洞穴，为我们描绘出一幅温带喀斯特的神奇景观。作为热带与冰河气候共同作用下的一种极其奇特的组合，该地貌使人们研究几千万年以来的地貌历史成为可能。"

Brief Description

”The Wooden Churches of the Slovak part of Carpathian Mountain Area inscribed on the World Heritage List consist of two Roman Catholic, three Protestant and three Greek Orthodox churches built between the 16th and 18th centuries. The property presents good examples of a rich local tradition of religious architecture, marked by the meeting of Latin and Byzantine cultures. The edifices exhibit some typological variations in their floor plans, interior spaces and external appearance due to their respective religious practices. They bear testimony to the development of major architectural and artistic trends during the period of construction and to their interpretation and adaptation to a specific geographical and cultural context. Interiors are decorated with paintings on the walls and ceilings and other works of art that enrich the cultural significance of the properties.“
