Wie die Paziner Höhle entstand

Vor langer Zeit, als in Istrien auch Riesen zusammen mit den Menschen lebten, erstreckten sich im Norden von Istrien riesige Seen und Sumpfgebiete. Südlich gab es weder Bäche noch Wasserquellen, und die Leute baten den Riesen Ban Dragonja , ihnen zu helfen das Land zu bewässern. Dragonja spannt daraufhin riesige Ochsen an einen Pflug und pflügt das Land von den Seen bis zum Meer. Als er mit der ersten Furche Wasser bis ins Meer führte, entstand daraus ein Fluss, den der Riese nach sich selber benannte, Dragonja. Am nächsten Tag pflügte er die zweite Furche, indem er einen neuen Fluss schaffte und ihn nach dem Namen seiner Frau nannte, Mirna. Als er beim Pflügen der dritten Furche unterhalb der Mauern des Paziner Kastells geriet, fing die am Fenster stehende Frau des Paziner Kapitäns zu sticheln an. Sie rief ihm spöttisch zu, er würde zu flach pflügen und die Furche verliefe schief. Ban Dragonja fühlt sich daraufhin sehr verletzt und treibt die Ochsen zurück. Aus der unvollendeten Furche sprudelt Wasser heraus und der Paziner Talkessel droht zu überschwemmen. Die Paziner beginnen um Hilfe zu rufen, weinen und bitten Dragonja, sie vor dem Untergang zu retten. Ban Dragonja erbarmt sich ihrer und stößt seinen Fuß tief in die Erde, umittelbar unterhalb der Klippen über denen sich das Kastell erhebt. Mit fürchterlichem Lärm beginnt die Erde abzusacken, durch den Stoß öffnet sich eine riesige Höhle und schluckt die gesamten Wassermassen. So entstand anstatt eines dritten Flusses das schlänglige Flüsschen Pazinčica, dessen Wasser bis zum heutigen Tage spurlos in der felsigen Paziner Höhle verschwindet

The legend of the giant Ban Dragonija

In ancient times, when Istria was also inhabited by giant beings, the north of the peninsula was an area covered by huge lakes and swamps. In the south, however, there were no streams or springs and the population asked the giant Ban Dragonja to help wet the earth. Dragonja yoked huge oxen to the plow and created a furrow from a northern lake towards the sea. At the first furrow that allowed the water to reach the sea, he gave his name, Dragonja. The following day he plowed the second furrow, giving birth to another river to which he gave the name of his wife, Mirna. While he was plowing the third furrow, which arrived under the walls of the Castle of Pazin,  the wife of the captain of Pazin  began to critic him, telling him that the furrow was shallow and all wrong. Ban Dragonja was deeply offended, stopped tthe work. In the furrow the water began to flow which slowly flooded the valley of Pazin. The inhabitants began to help Dragonja in his work, praying him in tears to save them from ruin. Ban Dragonja took pity on them and tapped one foot on the ground, right under the cliff on which the Castle stood. With an impressive roar the earth began to open, the strong blow created a chasm that swallowed all the water. This is why instead of a third river arose the serpentine stream today called Pazinčica, whose waters are still lost in the deep Cave of Pazin.

JULIUS VERNE and Pazin's castle and cave

The famous science fiction pioneer Jules Verne, after writing his adventurous novels such as "Around the world in 80 days" and "20,000 leagues under the seas", also found inspiration in this small place in Istria. Here in fact, precisely in Pazin's castle and cave, the illustrious writer set "Mathias Sandorf" (1885), one of the novels of the successful series Voyages Extraordinaires.

Musica favolosa qui, non per tutti, questo è certo, specialmente da quando in seguito diventa abbastanza sperimentale con questo Jazz sperimentale tipico di te amico mio, lol! mescolato con altri stili poiché è l'alternativa che mi piace, proprio come il "Fusion" Ci sono bassi buoni e anche una buona batteria.
L'inizio sorprende piacevolmente con questo organo e questo inizio di Rock con la chitarra elettrica che poi continua di nuovo con l'organo.
Quindi, anche se per gusto personale, non ascolterei questo speciale stile musicale ogni giorno, è comunque piacevole da ascoltare e molto frammentato come mi piace (vale a dire che non la noia non specialmente con questo ritmo mozzafiato, questo basso, la batteria e talvolta la chitarra Hard, lol! non ci sono prove, è anche qui che apprezzo molto.
Un ottimo lavoro di composizione ancora una volta complimenti, il lavoro di un professionista.
Saluti amichevoli.

Fabulous music here, not for everyone, that's for sure, especially since it becomes quite experimental afterwards with this experimental Jazz typical of you my friend, lol! mixed with other styles since it is the Alternative as I like, just like the "Fusion" There is good bass and good battery too.
The beginning surprises pleasantly with this organ and this beginning of Rock on the electric guitar which then continues again with the organ.
So even if by personal taste, I would not listen to this special style of music every day, it's still pleasant to listen to and very fragmented as I like, (that is to say that we do not boredom not especially with this breathtaking rhythm, this bass, the drums and at times the Hard guitar, lol! there are no rehearsals, that's where I also appreciate.
A very good work of composition once again congratulations, the work of a professional.
Friendly greetings.
Patrick

Une fabuleuse musique que voici, pas destinée à tout le monde, çà, c'est sûr, surtout qu'elle devient assez expérimentale par la suite avec ce Jazz expérimental typique de toi mon ami, lol ! mêlé à d'autres styles puisque c'est de l'Alternatif comme j'aime, tout comme la "Fusion" Il y a une bonne basse et de la bonne batterie également.
Le début surprend agréablement avec cet orgue et ce début de Rock à la guitare électrique qui ensuite enchaîne à nouveau avec l'orgue.
Alors même si par goûts personnels, je n'écouterais pas ce style spécial de musique tous les jours, c'est quand même plaisant à écouter et très morcelé comme j'aime, (c'est à dire qu'on ne s'y ennui pas surtout avec cette rythmique haletante, cette basse, la batterie et par moments de la Hard guitare, lol ! il n'y a pas de répétitions, c'est çà que j'apprécie également.
Un très bon travail de composition une nouvelle fois félicitations, du travail de professionnel.
Salutations amicales.
Patrick
