THE SPRING WATER IN FABCI NEAR VIŠNJAN

ISTRIADUCTION All Year | August | Free Entrance The spring is located right at the foot of the village of Fabci (Municipality of Višnjan), and it is so old that even the oldest locals do not remember when it was arranged. This year, the municipality also set up signposts to a spring that most locals only knew about. The water in its bed is about two meters deep, and it was used, of course, for drinking, but also for washing and feeding the cattle, so it never dried up. There were also children's baths, so that one of the younger ones would not get hurt, the spring was fenced with an iron fence with a padlock.
