Cave trip

TRIP INFORMATION

Your adventure begins at Postojna cave, one of the most famous underground wonders in Europe. A miniature train will take you through winding passages, where you can admire incredible stalactites, stalagmites, and other rock formations that have formed over millions of years. The cave’s vast halls and hidden corners create an unforgettable atmosphere that feels like stepping into another world. Here you can also see the unique olm, or “human fish”, a rare creature that lives only in these waters.

From there, continue to the remarkable Predjama astle, built dramatically into the side of a cliff. This medieval fortress is both mysterious and impressive, with a history full of legends about knights and secret tunnels. The location itself makes it one of the most unique castles in the world, and the view of its stone walls blending into the rock face is perfect for photos.

Your day ends in the Italian city of Trieste, where Slovenia meets Italy by the Adriatic Sea. Here you can stroll through elegant squares, enjoy the mix of cultures that shape the city, and relax with a coffee or a delicious Italian meal. Trieste’s historic streets and seaside charm provide a beautiful contrast to the caves and castles you explored earlier in the day.

This one-day trip offers a rich variety of experiences — from natural wonders deep underground, to dramatic medieval architecture, to the lively atmosphere of an Italian city. It’s the perfect way to discover the best of Slovenia and Italy in just a single day.
