Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Perched dramatically in the middle of a 123-meter-high cliff, the 800-year-old Predjama Castle looks like something out of a fairytale. This unique masterpiece of architecture is not only the largest cave castle in the world, but it's also ranked among the ten most fascinating castles globally. A visit to this remarkable site is like stepping into a storybook filled with history, legend, and stunning natural beauty.

Stop 2

Start your adventure beneath the surface of the Earth with a ride on a unique cave train through one of the world’s most diverse underground systems. Postojna Cave is the largest and most visited cave in Europe, and one of the greatest Karst monuments on the planet. So far, over 21 kilometers of passages, tunnels, galleries, and chambers have been discovered — with 5 kilometers open to the public.

Stop 3

Ljubljana, the charming capital of Slovenia, is a small and walkable city, yet rich in history, culture, and vibrant local life. With its picturesque old town, baroque architecture, and lively riverside cafés, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and enjoy every moment.

During your free time, you can explore cultural landmarks, stroll along the scenic Ljubljanica River, visit local markets, or indulge in traditional Slovenian cuisine. Whether you’re into history, food, or just soaking up the local atmosphere, Ljubljana has something for everyone.
