Enjoy early fall days and enhance your feelings in the depth of intact nature and mighty impregnable Erazem’s castle. The famous Postojna Cave is one of the most beautiful subterranean caves in the world. It extends over almost 22 kilometers of stalagmite and stalactite covered passages, galleries and chambers, shaped by nature over the course of millennia. A visit to the cave is a special experience: cave formations up to six hundred thousand years old hang from the ceiling (stalactites), grow from the floor (stalagmites), meet to form pillars, fold over into curtains or arrange themselves in sequences of fantastic shapes. The constant temperature in the cave ranges from 8 to 10° C all year long. A guided visit lasts an hour and a half, and is available every day.
Only 10 minutes drive from underground world miracle Predjama castle is hiding in the rocky cliff. Nowhere do you get such a strong sense of the Middle Ages as here below the sheer cliff that serves as a backdrop to the mighty Predjama castle – a castle which even today is full of surprises. The sixteenth-century Renaissance castle conceals an even older nucleus – a true cave castle that reveals the image of past centuries and the castle’s most famous owner, the robber baron Erazem. You can visit and explore Predjama castle every day of the year.
