Why visit
Postojna is a functional town whose reason for existing, touristically, is underground. The cave has been open to visitors since 1819, has an electric railway inside it, and is the type locality for the olm — the blind cave salamander. It sits directly on the Ljubljana–Koper motorway, which makes it the standard stop on any coast transfer, and Predjama Castle is ten minutes further on. The caves are 10°C year-round, so a jacket is needed even in August.
