Pazin Cave

Near the center of the town of Pazin is an abyss that has a cave which inspired the famous writer Jules Verne, who in his novel Mathias Sandorf, takes his characters throughout the underground of the cave from Pazin to the Lim Canal. Some believe he also used it for inspiration in "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
We had arrived quite late and did not have time to go down into the abyss which is arched by a semicircular cave called Dante's lobby.
