Reply to the Comment by Babek et al. on Hypogenic Versus Epigenic Origin of Deep Underwater Caves Illustrated by the Hranice Abyss (Czech Republic) - The World's Deepest Freshwater Cave: Can the Hranice Abyss, the Deepest Underwater Cave in the World, Really Reach 1 km Depth?

Comment by Babek et al. (2020, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JF005916) is concerning the interpretation of realized geophysical measurements. Since, to our knowledge, Klanica et al. (2020, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JF005663) conducted the deepest geophysical surveys in the area, a scale of work was probably misunderstood within the interpretation of our results.
Second, a large number of objections arise from the comment about the post-Badenian geological development at the eastern margin of the Bohemian Massif. However, evidence for the time when particular geological processes took place is not definite and our conclusions of our study can be related to early Badenian age.
