This spectacular karst monument is unique for its electric train ride, allowing visitors to comfortably explore the breathtaking underground world of tunnels, passages, galleries, and vast chambers. It is also home to the extraordinary proteus, or olm - the mysterious “baby dragon” that lives deep beneath the surface. With its remarkable diversity of karst formations, easy accessibility, and unforgettable scenery, Postojna Cave has fascinated more than 36 million visitors over the past 200 years.

2. Perched dramatically on a 123-meter-high cliff near Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle is one of Slovenia’s breathtaking landmarks. For more than 800 years, this magnificent fortress has stood proudly at the entrance of a cave, blending perfectly with the surrounding rock face. The setting is enhanced by the Lokva River, which disappears beneath the castle underground. As the only fully preserved cave castle in Europe, Predjama Castle offers a fascinating glimpse into medieval ingenuity and construction techniques. Built into the cliff for protection and secrecy, it provided a safe refuge during times of conflict. The castle is most famously linked to the legendary knight Erazem of Predjama, a fearless robber baron who resisted a siege in the 15th century. Hidden passages and the castle’s unique position allowed him to withstand his enemies for over a year until betrayed by one of his servants. Today, the legend of Erazem still lives on, adding to the castle’s timeless charm and mystery.

About Trieste

Trieste is an Adriatic port on Italy's border with Slovenia, a city of Habsburg-era palaces, old coffeehouses and a great square that opens onto the sea.

Trieste was the Roman town of Tergeste and became the main seaport of the Habsburg empire after it was declared a free port in 1719. Its grand centre dates from that period: Piazza Unità d'Italia, a vast square of palaces with one side open to the water, the Canal Grande, a short canal lined with cafés and a church, and the grid of the Borgo Teresiano. Above the old town, the cathedral of San Giusto and a castle crown a hill, with a Roman theatre below.
