Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle

A Wonderland of Caves and a Castle Explore a cavernous subterranean world and a castle within a cave during a full-day excursion. You will meet your guide and drive to Postojna, learning about old and new Slovenia along the way. Upon arrival, a mini-train takes 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 opened to the public in 1819, brought to Europe’s attention by Archduke Ferdinand after his visit. You will also have the chance to explore the marked pathways by foot. Next, continue to the magnificent Predjama Castle, a breathtaking Renaissance treasure seemingly carved into a vertical cliff. Its setting is truly magnificent and has captured the imagination since it was constructed in 1570. Tour its interior with your guide and learn about its fascinating history, hidden passageway and natural cave before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
