Posted by ,13.12.25

Just one hour from our apartment lies one of Europe’s greatest natural treasures: Postojna Cave. This world-famous underground marvel has been inspiring visitors for more than 200 years with its massive halls, glittering stalactites, and the mysterious olm — the “baby dragon” of Slovenian folklore.

If you’re looking for the perfect home base for your Slovenian adventure, our apartment offers comfort, peace, and an ideal location for exploring Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle, and the stunning Green Karst region.


Enter a Magical Underground World

A visit to Postojna Cave feels like stepping into another realm. Your journey begins with the iconic underground train, which takes you deep into the cave system, past towering formations and million-year-old sculptures created by dripping water.

Highlights of the cave include:

  • The Brilliant – the cave’s most famous white stalagmite

  • The Great Mountain – a massive underground chamber

  • The Concert Hall – known for its impressive natural acoustics

  • The Olm – the rare, pale salamander living deep in the darkness

The entire tour lasts about 90 minutes and is suitable for families, couples, and all curious travelers.
