Valea Navesului is a dry karst valley through which in the past the Ponicova stream flowed and flowed into the Comarnic valley. Later, it partially turned into a valley of sinkholes. Ponorul Popovaț is a still active valley that determined the formation of the Popovaț Cave by draining water underground to the Caraş River. Ponoror Ponicova is located at the downstream end of the valley with the same name and represents the entrance of water into the Comarnic Cave. After an underground course, the water comes to the surface again in the Comarnic valley. The slopes of the valley are steep.
