Slovenija, Postojna Cave: The palace of noble Underground Divines

I don’t like caves very much. As my mum says, ‘anyway one day we all will be under the ground – so what is the reason to hurry?’ But Postojnska Jama is no ordinary cave.

You should go there if you want to see the lifestyle of the nobility spirits of the mountains, who certainly live in this 23-km-long underground castle.

The fairy-tale began when you take your place in the long open-roof train, and you totally emerged in a new reality in the main hall, from which you will make 1,5 km trail through the countless halls. Some of the halls recall Gothic or Hindu motives, others can’t be matched with anything human since from all the civilization history there was no such a genius who could create something similar.
