Gologoricki dol Waterfall
Istria's Gologorica is located 5 kilometers to the southeast of Cerovlje. This one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Croatia is located lower in the valley and is accessible via a winding, steep road that provides lovely views of the surroundings and Istrian highlands. The Raa river basin includes the waterfall, which is about 3 meters high. It descends over ivy that is growing on the rocks and into an emerald pond. A cave ceiling over a pond, a typical karst Istrian feature, is present. Expect to observe falls without a significant drop or width. It's a quiet small fall located in the most stunning rural setting, giving you the impression that time has been transported back a few centuries.
A wooden door leads to the waterfall so that household animals can't get out. However, you are allowed to go in and take in the sounds of the waterfall and the nearby wildlife. Near the pond, there are couches and tables for lounging while admiring this tiny piece of nature's beauty. In no time, domestic Istrian animals like donkeys, ducks, and geese will be all around you. It is best for kids to enjoy it here, thus it is not strange that schools and kindergarten frequently visit this waterfall. The waterfall may dry out in the summer, so the ideal time to visit is just after a wet day when the amount of water is at its highest.
