If you love mystery and splendour, you can’t miss the world-famous Postojna Cave or the commanding Predjama Castle, Europe’s only preserved cave castle.

The focus of this Ljubljana tour is the Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle. Both attractions are known as two of the top things to visit while in Slovenia.

Postojna Cave is Slovenia’s most popular tourist site and one of the biggest karst monuments in the world. It is an incredible cave and the only spot in the world where you can ride underground on an electric train. Take the chance to meet the cave’s legendary occupant, the cute and slightly eerie proteus (olm). The cave boasts an incredible maze of tunnels, passageways, galleries, and stunning karst formations. It is easily accessible, bringing in over 36 million guests in the last 200 years. Come see what all the fuss is about, there’s a reason people return over and over again to take in the majesty of the cave.

Close to Postojna Cave, you will find the impressive Predjama Castle. Over 800 years old, the imposing castle sits nestled amongst a 123-metre high cliff, making it a truly impressive sight to behold. It stands watch over the Lokva River, which ambles slowly along far below, bringing a romantic atmosphere. The castle provides an incredibly glimpse into local history, forming the only preserved cave castle in Europe. You can learn about the ingenuity and industry of local people in the Middle Ages, who built their stronghold at the mouth of the cave. The infamous Erazem of Predjama held off a siege for over a year in the 15th century. The valiant knight remained unvanquished until he met his untimely end from a servant turned traitor. The legend of his brave plight lives on in the hearts and minds of all who visit the castle.
