Postojna Cave with Train Ride and Predjama Castle Half Day Trip from Ljubljana

Gems cut out of the rock

One cannot visit Slovenia without visiting Postojna Cave, the largest Karst cave in Slovenia with as much as 24 km of fantastic grid of tunnels, galleries and halls. Starting with electric train taking you inside, like no where else in the World, then proceed for a walking tour.

Not only England, but Slovenia too has its own Robin Hood: Erazem of Predjama Castle was a headstrong and rebellious “robber baron” who stole from the rich to give to the poor. Visit impregnable Predjama Castle that reigns perched high up a vertical cliff.

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.

Duration: 1 hour
