Postojna Cave
About This Museum
Tucked away in the karst landscape of southwestern Slovenia, Postojna Cave is a breathtaking subterranean world. The adventure begins uniquely with a thrilling train ride that whisks you deep underground through a maze of passages. Inside, you'll find yourself in vast, echoing halls adorned with an incredible array of stalactites, stalagmites, and other delicate formations that have been growing for millennia. It’s not just a natural wonder; this labyrinthine system even hosts concerts and events in its grand chambers.
Collection Highlights
The main draw is the cave's own geology: the stunning 'Brilliant' stalagmite, the soaring 'Great Mountain' cavern, and the unique underground ecosystem that includes the mysterious olm, or 'human fish'.
Visitor Information
It's a constant cool 10°C (50°F) down there year-round, so bring a warm jacket even in summer. The cave is open daily but hours vary by season, so it's best to check their website for current tour times before you go.
Architecture & Building
This isn't a man-made building; it's a colossal natural limestone cave system shaped entirely by water over millions of years.
