Grotta Pocala
Duino Aurisina
About
This little known cave is near Aurisina, on the carsic high plain, and has a nice path leading up to it. The cave opens to the West of the railway viaduct on the East side of a valley, along a road which leads to the hamlet of San Pelagio. As a crow flies, the cave is 1200 meters from Aurisina church. It is one of the most important prehistorical sites in Italy. Between 1904-7 a deposit of many types of animal remains were found inside the cave, these included lions, leopards, hyenas, bisons, raindeer, and cave bears. It is a place that shouldn't be missed out on, just remember to wear you wellingtons. It is not very easy to get to.
