Popis: The paper represents a geomorphological study related to the transitional forms between fluvial and karstic process. Karst areas of eastern Serbia are distributed in a large number of relatively isolated segments, and therefore abound in contact karst features. In many cases, central parts of karst areas, away from the contacts, host a variety of relict and dry valleys. Morphological analysis of these valleys may reveal the remnants of paleodrainage networks and help to reconstruct the morphological evolution of the area. This is a case study of the karst of Miroč Mt. in north-eastern Serbia, where geomorphological analysis and relief visualization using the Geomorphological Information System enabled the detection of paleodrainage directions and patterns in the vicinity of the Danube Gorge. Three paleo-river systems were detected, the largest of which is that of the Suva Reka (51 km2).
