Postojna Cave Visit

Captivating Underground World Descend into a cavernous subterranean world during a visit to the famous Postojna Cave. At the pier, you will meet your guide and embark your motor coach for a drive to Postojna, learning about old and new Slovenia along the way. Upon arrival, a mini train will take you into this underground landscape of stalactites and stalagmites. The vast cave system, with 15 miles of passages, is one of more than ten thousand registered caves in Slovenia. It first opened to the public in 1819, brought to Europe’s attention by future Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I after his visit. Disembark the mini train for an opportunity to explore the marked pathways on foot. Admire the striking 15-foot-tall stalagmite called Brilliant and view the resident olms, a species of aquatic salamander nicknamed “baby dragons” by locals. Return to the surface, then transfer back to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
