Postojna Cave and Castle Small-Group Day trip from Ljubljana

Summary

Your tour begins at your Ljubljana hotel, where you’ll board a climate-controlled vehicle destined for Potstojna Cave. On arrival here, you’ll board an electric train and embark on a journey through one of Slovenia’s most popular attractions. Dramatic stalactite formations, limestone curtains, and mysterious passages demand attention and cavernous voids seem to swallow you whole. After the train ride, spend some time exploring the caverns on foot before you proceed to your second stop. Following a short journey, arrive at Predjama Castle — a mysterious, 800-year-old landmark perched impregnably at the mouth of a hillside cave. Take a guided tour of the unconquerable castle, the largest cave-castle in the world, to see armory and richly furnished rooms, and to learn the legend of Erasmus, the Slovenian rebel associated with the castle. Your tour concludes with drop-off back at your Ljubljana hotel.

About operator:

Personal approach, flexibility and professionalism have made top rated tour specialist based on guests’ reviews. From small groups in our vans exploring Slovenia above and beyond, we have come a long way. The small groups stayed, but the variety of tours and experiences outgrew our best hopes and expectations. And so there came more groups, more tours, more excitement, bigger challenges! With dedication and hard work we have turned our services into unique travel experiences and succeeded in achieving the largest market share in the Slovene incoming tourism business for individual travelers. Like back in the good old days, we still feel extremely privileged not to say honored, to be able to share such a beautiful piece of Earth, Slovenia and its neighboring area, with the rest of the world.
