Departure from Trieste at 8.30 a.m. to start a wonderful day out visiting the Postojna Caves, one of the largest and most easily accessible networks of underground caves in the world.
The tour begins with a short a ride in an electric train and continues with a guided walk through a series of floodlit subterranean caverns, halls and corridors carved out by the Pivka River through the centuries and decorated with shining stalactites and stalagmites and enormous maze of crystalline stone curtains, pillars and altars. The underground waters flowing in the cave system are also the home of the world's unique “human fish”, an endangered species of the amphibian Proteus Anguinus, which is the only cave-dwelling vertebrate in Europe.
The tour continues towards Ljubljana, Slovenia’s attractive and cosmopolitan capital. We'll discover the splendours of this fascinating city on foot: we'll cross the Triple Bridge, visit the colorful open market around the main cathedral, see the town hall, stroll amongst the beautiful baroque architecture for a great and informative day out in this elegant pearl of Euope named the “White City”!
Important notice:
Passport or equivalent document required.
The temperature inside the Postojna Caves is 10°C year round so a warm jacket is recommended. Hiring a coat at the entrance of the cave is also possible.
