Dangerous adventure after harvesting Horsetail tail in search of a cave

This is the start for a new adventure in search of the Field Horsetail

this where I am is a small village Sipan in Istria and I also bought some Bounty chocolate to have a little energy and material for some nice photos

so I set off at 11:09 h in the strongest sun to ride and look for that plant

after the village Usicevi Dvori I turn right, towards Kavran

and there is a long, long white road dusty and fugue but wonderfully beautiful

the powder is not lacking but the plants look sympathetically dusty

even when someone passes by you as if driving a rally, everything is dusty

this is the entrance to the Budava Quarry but without work clothes do not enter and you must be extremely careful no pranks too dangerous to play

I will go there later after harvesting the plant

after that on the right is a small resort widening the aisle to stop and enjoy the view

view of Budava bay

little local wild vegetation

this from behind the constructions it is for the ponds

there are cages in the sea and buoy barrels for pedoc breeding

this is what a car looks like when driving on that road

further along the road there is an old carved guard at the edge of the road that guards where the abysses are but

hand-carved and of good quality useful

a real work of art that is almost unnoticed

a large fern comes to the fore when it is full of this powder

there is more to drive

a beautiful hill and a long transmission line

ode this cobweb is really big huge if it wasn't for that powder you wouldn't even see it this big

here at last at the very end of the road is located horsetail plant

(Lat. Equisetum arvense)

in these areas it is a very rare plant and little is known about it so I am glad because it is not devastated and grows like a weed all over the area

It grows in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. In our country, it grows along streams and in humid places in forests and meadows

It is a medicinal plant

The plant contains ascorbic acid (0.19%), carotene, saponin equisetonin (about 5%), flavonoids (quercetin, isoquercitin, kaempferol, luteolin, equisetrin), fats, nicotine,

silicic acid (up to 25%), organic acids (malic, oxalic and aconite), fatty oil, tannins and resins, phenylcarboxylic acid, mineral salts, sitosterol

used in traditional Austrian herbal medicine as a tea, or externally as a bath or compress, to treat disorders of the skin, locomotor system,

I like it both as a tea and as a bath

it is good for healing, kidney and urinary system, rheumatism and gout

it is not easy to dry because it spoils easily if there is no draft

it is dry when the hunting needles are easily separated from the stem

in the literature it says that young shoots can be eaten but I have never tried it oa I do not know what it looks like

these young shoots of that plant look like some beautiful Christmas trees

here I also came across a young cockroach of a ladybug waiting

to form and fly away

it’s pretty warm and like her popes on those needles

I picked up a little cardboard box so I could head home

because it's already 1 pm and the end of the harvest so I can start producing Fat

to greet you how warm I am to be able to go on though is +31degree of Celsius

I drove home but, but

I had to visit this magnificent quarry

is that dangerous but iman work shoes with protective cap, cap and two liters of water + good better and courage to risk to show you this on Hive

if you ever go there BE VERY CAREFUL IT DIDN'T FALL

And Good Shoes

it looks like some old civilization stacking those huge blocks and those high rocks like a two-story house

there is also some shadow of mine

here in these rock walls there is a small crevice and some small cave

and this is what it looks like

there is a hole in these rocky ruins, it's a bit dangerous to walk here because the upper part falls apart and something easily falls on your head

but it’s nice and worth the little risk

there I found a piece of stone that looks to me like the rest of some fossil petrified and is beautiful

I go on to take a walk in the exploration and it has beautiful nature and the sky as it adorns it

I also came across a stone of a nice brown color and it weighs quite a bit

it is a long way full of gravel and a little slippery at least stable but one should walk slowly without haste

this made me love to see the great Artichoke bush super arrangement for this ancient area

there are interesting rocks along the way

now I come to a very large excavation

simply that beauty of the stone that color and space how big it takes my breath away and I stand and watch these stacked blocks adorn that area

so some beautiful stones are found again, as if they are not from there, but there is that colorful combined color

a little look at the geological structure of the rock terrain

and there is that here too

this stone is sympathetic to me as it shines with crystals

and has beautiful patterns on the broken part and these shiny dots

it looks like this on the floor

a further walk around the quarry but this is a masterpiece

here it is also seen how the rock was made geologically

here is a lamp made of rubble crushed small stones

i think over three floors of these platforms is a terrace

I'm going to climb the ramp

hard but nice

how those stones stack those blocks like some civilization like I’m in a Skyrim or Morowind video game

side view from that side

I'm only halfway and it's very dangerous to walk on this, the floor slips under your shoes, it runs and the downhill just doesn't pull you down CAUTION ON THAT DANGEROUS only for you on Hive I'm doing this

here i n purpose and i'm happy i didn't almost slip twice

a little crack at the top and like a small cave

here's a little inside and obviously the water was dripping there

there are a lot of details

nice channel

these tiny pimples give a very beautiful work of nature

here is a stone standing on a natural terrace on the cave wall

I go on a little greeting... to you on Hive

I don't really have the will to go down that ramp because I'm sure I'll fall, slip and I'll have to go down the only way on all fours, so I'm looking for another way to go down

I go around and come across an end enclosed by high rocks

it is very high where I am and this is the bottom of the ramp and the view of this space

a little view of the walls along which it descends

here is a view of this cave which is at the top of the hill

there I found a plant that grows only on such terrains raw and rocky and I saw it only in quarries

finally it comes out I was sweating and a little bit of me and the fear was over for all this aki it paid off

finally on the way and one big tree that serves as shade but I don’t go under it, I go on

and has beautiful fruits

here under the tree I try to photograph the flies

it's faster

go to the upper platform in search of a large open cave

there is also wild Oregano smelling wonderful

there is little and immortelle

not too bush two

this can be seen and I will hear it later

here is the cave

it is big and deep

this is very dangerous to do because there is no fence to keep it from falling

stuck stalactites on the inner wall

view that spatial depth

and this above my head was good that something did not fall

this second cave is a little more dangerous because the center is falling apart

There are a lot of small ball-shaped fluffy flies but they are much faster and mate

has beautiful stalactites

there I found a feather from Pheasant

this is what that wicked cave ruin looks like

I don't go to this one because there are bushes and there may be some snakes, so I don't want to risk that much

and since there are vines in front of the entrance it means that their moisture is also dangerous

this is for now the end I will still visit this place someday for now I am going about

little detail of the stone blocks that adorn the road

it looks impressive

the top of the crane inside can be seen there

road to the way home

in that quarry in an hour i drank 2 liters of water in an hour now it's 2pm and pchus 32 degrees roughly in the car is hell and i need some energy oa it's time for Bounty

it melted but the coconut and chocolate were extremely tasty

this is what my t-shirt looks like in front

like this from behind

these are my stalactites that have formed on me while I am at the quarry

a lot of this artwork of sweat doing these stalactites on me on my mother

moving fat preparation action

I put the 2 kg. fat in a bowl and the heat is on low heat

when it melted into it I put chopped in the early plant Horsetail

and stir for 10 minutes

just mix

then removed from the heat and let over stand to stand

the next day heat to turn the fat into a liquid and then put in gauze

I'll put it all at once

wrap

and squeeze as hard as possible to squeeze everything out

this stays on the gauze

then the liquid

and then fill the jars

filled all jars

i take homemade brandy from the first two first liters which is not drinkable it is ethyl alcohol made from 15 different plants in 2015 and evaporated all those years is al has the strength for this

I pour a little into the saucer

I'll dip the foil

plug and cut off the excess protruding

then I put everything in the fridge to squeeze and can and ready to spread

This was a dangerous adventure after harvesting the Horsetail plant and then a dangerous adventure in search of a cave in the quarry

Budava with a few photos and a few words to show you the place to you on Hive , so I greet you warmly and wish you a pleasant rest of the day
