34 million visitors have visited the Postojna Cave so far

An important milestone was celebrated at the Postojna Cave on Thursday, 28 July 2011: the 34 millionth visitor was namely recorded on that day. Fortune smiled on a family from the Italian town of Perugia – Mr Giuseppe Schippa was the lucky holder of the visitor ticket with the number which brought the holder the prize of a luxury cruise around the Mediterranean for two people and a signature in the Golden Book of visitors to the Postojna Cave. The Schippa family - the prize winner was accompanied with his wife Cristina and daughter Francesca – had been on holiday at the seaside, but they left the coast a day sooner than planned and decided to make a stop in Postojna to visit the Cave. Mr and Mrs Schippa had been to the Postojna Cave years ago, but this time they wanted to show it to their six-year old daughter. 

A symbolic consolation prize was also given to the two visitors who had bought tickets right before and after the 34 millionth guest and thus missed the main prize by a whisker; they were Mr Roman Roman Orenič from the Czech Republic and Mr Tomasz Wcislo from Poland.
