Abstract: The paper presents a new method of quantitative parameterization of net geomorphological struc-
tures with the use of random walk formalism and an analysis of Hurst exponent distribution derived from
random walk experiments. As examples, horizontally developed gypsum caves were elaborated. The provid-
ed methodology is able to uniquely characterize cave systems.
