from Belvedere: the picture in a sinkhole of Skocian summer three years ago
I would suggest for a trip, two very beautiful places a few miles away from each other .
They stay on the Carso, Slovenia.
These are the caves and the castle of St. Canziano Predjama.
Caves Skocjan (protected in 1986 by 'Unesco world heritage list since 1999 and the Ramsar Convention as a wetland in the world's largest underground).
from Belvedere: the bottom of the valley where the river Reka sinks
The caves are covered by the Reka River, one of the most mysterious rivers of the world, the Reka Group was founded in the snowy mountains and after a distance of 55 km. sinks in the caves of San Canzian (Skocianske Jame in Slovenia), where after a stretch of 2500 meters and 25 waterfalls disappears in the bowels of the earth, and after about forty km underground route unknown, as the river emerges Timavo forming three sources close to Saint John at Duino, a few miles from Trieste, which has resulted, after a couple of miles in the Gulf of Trieste, thus gaining the prize for shortest river in Italy.
visit (drive) a couple of miles takes about an hour and a half, in the caves the temperature is constant 12 °, due to moisture and water infiltration is advisable to visit with some sturdy shoes the foot and jacket.
In the first part you can visit the "cave of silence,"
nelle grotte
ricchissime di stalattiti e di stalagmiti dalle forme meravigliose e di molteplici colori,
fra le quali una stalagmite denominata il Gigante alta 15 metri che si calcola siano stai neccessari 250.000 anni di accumulo di concrezioni calcaree per la sua formazione.
Nella seconda parte si entra
nella grandiosa e indimenticabile " Grotta del rumore",
This cave 100 meters high and 60 wide is crossed at 45 meters from a daring bridge.
After this cave Reka sinks into the mystery.
the Reka River sinks into the mystery, the green lights are the lights of the walkway

Heading towards the exit through other wonders, finally reaches the last cave where the light of day finally arrives, this huge cave walls 160 meters high with a diameter of 300 gives to the exit, a path, outdoors, with spectacular views over the river leads to an elevator for ascending to the visitor center.
From the visitor center along a picturesque path in a forest after a couple of hundred meters you arrive at the Belvedere, with a breathtaking view of the valley and the village on the opposite side.
