Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Postojna Cave, Jamska cesta 30, Postojna 6230 Slovenia

Small group approach with carefully planned time, where experienced local tour operator’s

chauffeur guide will collect you at designated location for an informative hourly ride to

Postojna to start your unique karst experience.

The Pivka river has been carving the Postojna Cave for 2 million years. The water level has

changed over time and created a beautiful "multi-level" underground world filled with

stalactites, stalagmites, columns, curtains and other gorgeous shapes was gradually created

as the water was leaving layers of limestone behind.

The first visitors supposedly came to the cave as early as the 13th century, but the most

beautiful parts of the cave were discovered in 1818. You’ll enter the cave by train. The train

ride takes about 10 minutes, and then you’ll continue on foot with a guided tour. Walk up the

Great Mountain (Calvary) which is an underground hall formed from the collapse of the

ceiling. Stroll under the needle-thin transparent tubes hanging from the ceiling in Hall of

Tubes. Admire the White Hall of pure white stalactites and the reddish colored Red Room.

From under the Russian Bridge you will reach The Concert Hall from where you can see the

amazing white Brilliant – a truly breathtaking sight.

The cave itself is rather peaceful and completely dark without lights. Despite that, around

100 animal species live in the cave! The main attraction is, of course, the proteus, which was

at first mistaken for a baby dragon.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Predjama Castle, Predjama 1, Postojna 6230 Slovenia

Take a break on the terrace of the country inn in front of the defiant, mysterious Predjama

Castle and enjoy its stunning views. The castle is built as an impregnable redoubt, placed in

the gaping mouth of a cavern halfway up a 123 m cliff. The castle holds great features – holes

in the ceiling of the entrance tower for pouring boiling oil on intruders, deep and dank

dungeons, and an eerie hiding place at the top called Erazem's Nook.

After a nice half day experience we will return back to Ljubljana.

Drop off will be at same location as pick up.

The cave is an amazing wonder of nature. I thought this is just similar to the cave in Halong Bay of Vietnam but this is bigger and indeed the mother of all caves!The Prejama castle is also interesting. Don't expect treasures nor a lot of furnitures but what's interesting is the location of the castle and how it was built as part of the cave system. A must-see site in Slovenia
