Attraction Information
Postojna Cave (Postojnska jama)
Postojna Cave in western Slovenia is a 20-kilometre (12-mile) labyrinth of subterranean passages, filled with fantastical stalagmites, stalactites and other rock formations. It is considered by experts to be one of the finest examples of karst landscape, where limestone rock has been heavily eroded to form underground streams, a phenomenon that has created several other caves in the area Postojna Cave is also home to the Proteus Anguinus, a unique creature with no eyes, which can grow up to 30cm (1ft) in length and feeds on snails and worms. Speleological equipment can be provided at the cave for caving enthusiasts, and special interest tours can also be arranged.
