From Trieste: Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle

2. From Trieste: Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle

Postojna Cave, the queen of all caves, is the best-known cave in the world. It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world’s largest karst (limestone) monuments. This is the only place in the world where the underground landscape can be traversed on an electric train and where you get to meet this underground kingdom’s most famous inhabitant – the proteus (olm) – up close.  A fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries, and halls, an astonishing diversity of karst features, as well as easy access are certainly the main reasons for the popularity of the cave and the large number of visitors (more than 36 million of them in over 200 years). The Predjama Castle reigns over the surrounding area, not far from the Postojna Cave, in the idyllic village of Predjama. This picturesque, magnificent, defiant, mysterious, and impregnable castle has been perched up in the middle of a vertical 123-meter high cliff for more than 800 years. Its romantic appeal is further emphasized by the idyllic Lokva River, which disappears into the underground world deep down below the castle. As the only preserved cave castle in Europe, the Predjama Castle offers a unique insight into the building techniques and resourcefulness of people in the Middle Ages, who were looking for and found a safe harbor for themselves right at the entrance of the cave. During a siege that took place in the 15th century, the castle provided a refuge for its best-known and most notorious owner – Erazem of Predjama.  The legend of the courageous robber baron Erazem, who remained undefeated until one of his servants betrayed him, is still in people’s minds, inspiring and alluring as ever. It was this safe abode of his that helped the brave knight resist the besiegers without much difficulty for more than a year. Let your guide take you through these unforgettable sights for an ideal day excursion.

Had so much fun on our trip, could not recommend enough. Truly felt as though we were able to experience Slovenia in the short amount of time there. The one con is that GetYourGuide overcharged us for our trip. I did not look into this until after, but if you book directly on KoperTrips, the company they used, it is only 95 euros as opposed to 113 euros on GetYourGuide. In the end, we paid about 40 euros more (for two people) through GetYourGuide. Also, it was difficult when communicating about the trip as when a question arose GetYourGuide had to contact KoperTrips, as opposed to booking with KoperTrips and communicating with them directly. If I were to do it again, I would not have purchased through GetYourGuide. I have used GetYourGuide for multiple excursions and the price is usually the same and if anything maybe a couple dollars more, however, I randomly started searching for other trips KoperTrips has to offer and saw the price difference. Very bummed to say the least!

Incredible tour! Natasha was a phenomenal guide and provided so much fascinating history about Slovenia and the locations we went. I wish we had a little more time in Lake Bled, but overall the day was perfectly paced!

The audio guide was very informative and clear. The guide pointed out the sites covered by the guide and also helpfully answered any questions. The bus was comfortable and hop on hop off aspect was an asset .

This was one of the best tours I've done. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great experience.

Great service, first time on a bus tour, highly recommended
