Postojnska Jama Cave

One of Slovenia's main attractions, the 24-kilometer karst cave system. The visit is only with a group, tickets are bought for a certain time. If you need to wait, there are several restaurants near the cave, as well as the Pivka River with a park.

Check the official website for ticket price - https://www.postojnska-jama.eu/en/. The opening hours will be available after choosing a ticket.


In the cave you will go first on a train and then on foot. It is curious that in 1872, when the world's first cave railway was laid here, the cars were pushed by guides manually. Now they are electric.


Electric lighting was carried out in the cave back in 1884 by decree of Franz Joseph, the Emperor of the Austrian Empire. Earlier than in Ljubljana or Kyiv.




The problem of the cave is its popularity, even in low season we had to wait a long time. Queues were outside and inside the cave.
