The guided tour lasts about 40 minutes and descends about 60 m, passing through five chambers full of stalactites. In the underground lake you can see the blind cave salamander known as the “human fish.” Outside the cave there is an exhibition of Istrian farm tools and a display on the history of tractors. Admission is about a dozen euros. It is open roughly from April to October, with shorter hours in the off-season. You need to reach it by car. It is cool inside, so bring a jacket.
