Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle | Half-Day Trip from Ljubljana
Explore two of Slovenia’s most impressive sights in just a few hours! This half-day trip from Ljubljana takes you to the world-famous Postojna Cave and the dramatic Predjama Castle, a fairytale fortress built into a cliff.
Step into a world of underground marvels as you ride the legendary electric train through the Postojna Cave, Slovenia’s top tourist attraction and one of the most visited caves in Europe. With over 24 km of passages, galleries, and chambers, Postojna is an awe-inspiring karst phenomenon carved by nature over millions of years.
You’ll be guided through the cave’s breathtaking interior, where stunning stalactites and stalagmites create a magical subterranean landscape. Marvel at formations like the Brilliant, the spaghetti hall, and the Concert Hall — and meet the mysterious olm, a rare, blind amphibian known as the “baby dragon.”
Next, we continue to Predjama Castle, the largest cave castle in the world, dramatically perched in the middle of a 123-meter-high cliff. This architectural marvel is over 800 years old and has inspired countless legends — most famously that of the rebellious knight Erazem of Predjama, Slovenia’s own Robin Hood.
With your guide, you’ll uncover the secrets of this unconquerable fortress, learn about its unique design, and enjoy incredible photo opportunities of the surrounding karst landscape.
This tour is perfect for those short on time but eager to explore Slovenia’s natural and historical wonders. Small group size, local guide, and all transport included — just bring your curiosity and sense of adventure!
