Postojna Cave is the cradle of cave explorations in the world and one of the most visited attractions in Slovenia. Start with an exciting train ride that will take you deep underground to the towering halls of Postojna Cave. Join a walking tour through the unique world of dripstones and halls, all created millions of years ago, and learn about the active growth of the cave as well as the enigmatic fauna inside it.

Meet an incredible creature, the olm, which lives inside these caves and is called “the human fish” (človeška ribica) in Slovenian due to its skin-like color. It has been nicknamed “the baby dragon” due to its visual similarities to the mythological beasts. This spectacular place below the surface has been visited for the last 200 years by over 38 million people from around the world.

Our next stop will be Predjama Castle, a unique medieval structure built into a sheer cliff around the mouth of a cave. It boasts a Guinness world record as the largest cave castle in the world. It was home to the legendary Erazem of Predjama, a rogue knight whose story rivals that of Robin Hood. Optionally, take an audio-guided tour through the multiple levels of the castle (*there are roughly 200 steps inside) or take in the panorama from the outside while enjoying a drink or a picnic.

We had the most wonderful guide - Tine - we cannot recommend him highly enough. We were picked up near the train station in Venice at 9am promptly, and it was a smooth and beautiful drive into Slovenia. We had lunch at a delicious lake-side restaurant in Bled, then took a pletna over to Bled Island, where we had time to hike the trail around the perimeter and also do a complete tour of the beautiful little church and tower. Tine then whisked us to the other side of the lake for a tour of Bled Castle, the oldest in the country, which houses a small demonstration printing press and museum. In addition, our kids had seen the alpine slide at Straza Hill snaking down the mountain across the lake from the castle, and Tine fit it into the schedule as a surprise addition - such fun! He was so accommodating and kind. We were back in Venice for dinner just a little after 8. A fantastic introduction to Slovenia and we can't wait to return for a longer visit!

Nejc was our guide. He went out of his way to ensure we had an enjoyable day. Very knowledgeable guide. We visited Vintgar Gorge, Vogel by cable car, Triglaw NP, Savica Waterfall and Bohinj Lake where we also took a boat cruise. It was a fantastic day. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 on the tour and we did everything at our own pace. Nejc, thank you for a wonderful day, it was a pleasure spending time with you and getting to know you.
