Not everyone likes it, but I find this environment very fascinating, despite its rough and cold appearance.

 

As mentioned, the abundance of siliceous and calcareous rocks combined with the strong winds of Bora/Bura and Scirocco/Jugo, prevent the rooting of humus and therefore the fertility of the soil, despite the fact that the entire area has some of the most abundant rainfall in Europe.

 

Even in the Mediterranean area, the Northern Adriatic has a temperate climate and rainfall distributed throughout the year, with minimums in February and July and a maximum in autumn, but all months have at least 60mm or 60l/m2 of rain.
