Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Postojna Caves & Predjama Castle
Your first visit will be to Postojna Cave, known for having the only tourist cave railway in Europe. The visit begins with a train ride through a network of large galleries and tunnels shaped by natural forces over millions of years. After the ride, you will continue on foot with a guided walk through some of the cave’s most well-known sections. Along the way, your guide will explain the geological processes that formed the cave and point out key features such as stalactites, stalagmites, and underground chambers. The next stop is Predjama Castle, recognised as the largest cave castle in the world. Built directly into the side of a cliff, the structure has been in place for more than 800 years. As you walk through its rooms, corridors, and hidden passageways, your guide will share stories about the castle’s past and the people who once lived there. Its design reflects the needs of the time, blending natural rock with built structures to create a stronghold that was both defensive and functional. These two stops offer a clear look at how people have lived alongside Slovenia’s natural landscapes, making use of the terrain in practical and lasting ways.
