After meeting your guide at your central hotel in Ljubljana buckle-up in your air-conditioned minivan for a half-day tour of Predjama Castle and Postojna Cave. Cruise the Slovenian countryside before you approach the mouth of a cave where the Predjama Castle is wedged into the cliffside.

With your guide or on your own, begin your adventure through the labyrinth of staircases. Stop in different chambers and see antique furnishings and historical armaments. Discover the legend of Erazem Predjama, owner of the castle in the 15th century, who used a secret tunnel to collect supplies, mostly cherries, while the castle was being endlessly attacked.

Later meet with your group and journey to Postojna Cave. Hop aboard the electric mini-train and voyage into this cave along a rail system that was built in 1872. Learn about how calcites, stalagmites, and stalactites were formed by the Pivka river in this 20-km (13-mile) network of caves. Then delve into the interesting biology that resides here cumulating 100 different species. Hear about the blind salamanders locally referred to as “human fish” that wander the subsurface rivers within.

Emerge from the caves and hop back into your mini-van for a leisurely ride back to your Ljubljana hotel.

See these important sights!
Theresa_V

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and a very safe driver. The itinerary was good, too. Both the castle and cave were very interesting. A good addition might be a local snack or food item tasting since we didn’t arrive back in town until about 2pm. (There were cafes at each site, though). The only negative aspect of the trip was the coughing, sneezing and crying baby which never seemed to stop during the driving portion of the trip and made it difficult auto hear the guide.

Brighstone Cove Tseldora

The train ride through the cave before the castle. Actually the market potential of this castle is enormous and could easily make millions if you know how to market it. It is actually a key location in a world wide massively known and immensely popular video game series. --> Brightstone Cove Tseldora. But unfortunately the interior is not as classy or fancy as I would have hoped.

Don't miss the caves!

This is a nice way to spend an afternoon from Ljubljana. Predjama castle is very unique (even if you have castle fatigue). There's a relatively quick audioguide to lead you around for a little less than an hour. Postonja cave tour is very well organized with a train in, then a walk inside. This is an amazing sight to see, highly recommended. Look out for the baby dragons! You are able to take non-flash pictures here, which may be appealing to some people as you can't at the UNESCO Skocjan Caves. (I didn't learn this on this tour, but the reason is too much light (even infrared) can encourage algae growth that would otherwise interfere with the cave environment). The cost of this tour is worth not having to rent a car and worry about parking yourself at each attraction.

Beautiful places, excellent guide
Michael_F

Our guide Nina was great. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel as scheduled. Both sights were beautiful. Nina was a great guide at the castle. The only thing that was a little disappointing was, we didn't realize that at the cave they don't allow private guides, they have their own. Would have been nicer had it been possible to tour the cave with Nina and our small group. The assigned guide was good but the group was huge. I understand that these are the rules of the cave. I must say though that Nina did take care that everything should go smoothly for us going in and coming out of the cave.

This was a fantastic tour. The castle was amazing, built right into the rock wall of the mountain. The cave was truly incredible. First we took a train ride about a mile in and then the tour began. I've never been so deep underground before! The cave tour was good. Especially great, though, were our Viator guides. So enthusiastic, so happy to share all they knew, so happy in general. We had a fabulous day and I highly recommend this tour.

What a lovely day. Well worth going on this trip. The Castle was in a lovely setting and the sunshine actually appeared as we walked down from the Castle. The caves were fascinating and the train trip was really good. Our guide Sanda was lovely - very knowledgeable and very patient with us older English people. A great day.
