History and sights of Postojna

This small town has a good hotel infrastructure and two major attractions: the famous Predjama Castle and the Postojna Cave.

The 800-year-old Renaissance castle was built at the entrance to a cave for protection, storage of food and drinking water, integrating with the rock through secret passages, which was of great value when surrounded by enemies.
There are interesting stories about Erazem de Predjama, its most famous owner, who lived in the 15th century.

Postojna Cave was discovered 200 years ago, it is one of the largest tourist caves in Europe, with 24 km of tunnels and galleries, a rare example of karst formations.

Finally, you can use this city as a base to explore the interior of this beautiful country and capture beautiful images, such as the trail around the Škocjan Caves and Lake Cerknica at sunset.
