4. The Kingdom of Festini

In the very heart of Istria, near the village Festini, close to Zminj, the cave Kingdom of Festini surely stands out by its natural beauties. The name is given by locals because the cave is abundant with cave decorations – a heritage of Mediterranean vegetation that once grew on that terrain.

Enjoy the harmonious sound of drops, wonderful dripstone forms, among which it is easy to recognize ‘the magician’s hat’, ‘Tower of Babylon’ and huge ‘bat wings’ strangely covered with the grapevine that gets its water from the bottom of the cave.
