Abstract
There have been fewer researchers looking for initial flow paths along karst bedding-planes than those who deduced the origin of cave channels from tectonic structures. The aim of my research was to focus scientific attention on the lithology where answers might be expected. The study has conformed that the basic idea of bedding-planes being important in the initiation of cave channels but also has shown that the interrelation is different to what had been supposed. Single lithological, petrological or stratigraphical parameters of the inception are only partly known, or merely guessed. My researches threw light on the problem of initial channels met in the Velika Dolina collapse doline at Skocjanske Jame caves. Cave passages or their fragments and other traces of the underground karstification do not appear scattered at random on the walls of the doline but they are obviously gathered along small number of so calledformative bedding-planes.
