Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Rijeka, Rijeka, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County
Your guide will pick you up at the agreed starting point in Rijeka, Croatia - hotel, cruise terminal, bus station, train station etc. (please contact us after the booking so the appropriate arrangements can be made).
Stop At: Postojna Cave, Jamska cesta 30, Postojna 6230 Slovenia
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 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, astonishing diversity of karst features, as well as easy access are certainly the main reasons for such popularity of the cave and a large number of visitors (more than 36 million of them in over 200 years).
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Predjama Castle, Predjama 1, Postojna 6230 Slovenia
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 into 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 about 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 which helped the brave knight resist the besiegers without much difficulty for more than a year.

Inizialmente spaventati dalla quantità di macchine e parcheggi tentiamo la sorte, invece tutto perfetto. Un chiosco con ragazze multilingue di indirizza e arrivi alla biglietteria, niente code, acquisti i biglietti con l'orario di visita. Arriva alla scalinata di partenza e ti spaventi di nuovo per la lunga coda. Non è il ns orario e aspettiamo ma in pochi minuti la coda sparisce e tocca noi. Entriamo e aspettiamo all'ombra nell'ingresso della grotta sotto il cartello "italiano". Arriva la ns guida e dopo una piccola spiegazioni ci porta al trenino. Si parte....! Un viaggetto in mezzo alle grotte e alla roccia che ti sfiora, si scende e inizia il percorso di questa meraviglia sotterranea. Nessuna foto descrive la maestosità e l'emozione di questa vista che l'acqua e il tempo hanno creato. Un percorso a piedi su un percorso di cemento antiscivolo e con l'illuminazione delle stalagmiti e stalattiti ben studiato. Una bella scarpinata di un'ora e più e poi di nuovo sul trenino per il ritorno con un altro percorso.
