About this experience

Experience three of Slovenia's most breathtaking attractions in a day.
Enter the mysterious world of underground passages, caverns, and great halls, decorated with dripstones, translucent curtains, and pillars of fascinating shapes and colors. You will glimpse a million years in a single moment as you move through romantically lit rows of dark tunnels. Return into daylight and discover the astonishing Predjama castle, tremendously emerging from a stone wall above. It truly is a sight to see.
Next flow over the emerald green waters of Lake Bled in one of the traditional 'Pletna' boats and discover Slovenia's only island. Topped with a charming little church and a magical wishing bell to ring your wishes to life, this spot has been making headlines for years and ranks among the most beautiful natural sights in the world. Enjoy a nice stroll around the lake, climb up to the mysterious Bled Castle, or treat yourself to a piece (or two) of delicious Bled cream cake.
