3 minute Adventures's video: Caving In My Front Yard Croatia Episode 210

For years I’ve heard stories about the old mines in Istria, Croatia and especially the one in the front yard of our summer house in Jasenovica. So when I found a volunteer crazy enough to explore the uncharted depths I couldn’t resist attaching a harness and rope to her and sending her and setting out on a mini-adventure. So what is this labyrinth in my front yard? According to my father, many of these mines were dug to retrieve a chalky substance that was mixed with lime (I think) to create a natural mortar for building foundations. Over time they were abandoned and used as garbage dumbs until brush covered the entrances. This mine consists of two chambers with two entrances (both filled with lose sand and stones from recent bush clearing and ground leveling). The camber we enter first is about 5x5x5 meters with solid rock walls. The second camber is predominantly composed of a white chalky substance. It is about 5x5x5m in the first part then a passage goes deeper that leads into a maze of small erie chambers that pass below a local road.

The jama is open and prepared. We are roped off. So Anja and Sunja are going to help us figure out first, whats in the first chamber and then if we can, whats in the second chamber. It's so cold in this place. So clearly garbage in here there's somebody's refrigerator I think. It has been hand carved. with a little cold chisel perhaps. So now we're going to switch to the other side to see whats on the other side. Yeah. Your good. Very good. Whats over there? More digging and probably another cave. Cool place. All right. There's the sub-chamber. And the entrance over there. No war crimes stuff. No gold? No gold. Nothing much. 5m Yeah, that's at least 5m just there. What's that? A car driving over us. I don't think so. Yeah, it goes under the road my dad said. We found the second chamber, which has another chamber with multiple small chambers. OK. Lets go. Good job.
