Description
Take a trip to the capital of Slovenia, to the
city where old meets new. Discover the baroque old
town with its bridges, churches, palaces, open
squares and sidewalk cafes. The open-air market
around the St. Nicholas Cathedral is just like the
city itself − colorful and full of life. Take a
walk up to the castle, situated on the hill
dominating the city, or simply just join the people
strolling along the streets.
Next, you drive to Postojna, where you will get to
know the largest and most famous Slovenian cave
system − the Postojna Caves. Two million years old
and 27 km long, the system of subterranean caves is
one of the most easily accessible networks of
underground caves in the world. A ride by electric
train will be followed by a guided walk through a
series of cave halls with drop stones, pillars and
translucent curtains that create unforgettable
impressions. The underground system is the home of
the mysterious, unique and rare amphibian Proteus
anguinus, or "human fish" as it is popularly called
here.
Only 9 km away from Postojna stands one of the most
interesting baroque castles of Slovenia, Predjama
Castle. It hangs dramatically in the middle of a
high rocky cliff some 123 metres high.
