Rock shelters of the Karst ridge
of Veli Badin at Socerga are
a great natural sight of Slovenia. Local people have named this rock shelters
with 'Ears of Istria'. This place is away from the tourist routes and just
a few people know that beside rock walls there is also a natural made stone
bridge. The main feature of the 28 high Karst ridge of Veli Badin are three
huge rock shelters which are 17
m high and the widest one is about 90 m wide. The lengh of the karst ridge
from natural stone bridge (altitude
234 m) to Sv. Kirik church (altitude 407 m) is about 2 km; azimuth = 300°.
There are additional rock shelters but not so huge are the three mentioned
ones.Rock wall is made of alveolina limestone
(1Pc,E) with some tracks of marl limestone. Rockshelters have a cave morphology
with stalactites and some other cave features. Some solitary stones on
the top of the ridge are shaped like the sculptures on the Ester Island
