Subjects : They are the largest caves in the Karst with an interweaving of almost 21km of tunnels, as well as the most visited in Europe. The caves are rich in stalagmites and stalactites whose formation takes thousands of years, thanks to the influx of water containing calcium carbonate that is deposited forming concretions.

Recommended equipment : It is forbidden to use flash and tripods, the indoor environment is very dark, illuminated with orange lights. Therefore it is advisable to bring a camera equipped with a bright wide angle.

Best months : The average temperature of the caves is 8 ° C with a high humidity that can vary slightly between summer and winter, so there is no more recommended season. It is important to bring a jacket even in summer.

How to get there : The easiest way is by motorway from Trieste. We advise you to pay attention to the route because a part requires the payment of a vignette to enter Slovenia, so if you have to visit only the caves it is better to follow the highway towards Sezana and avoid payment.

Visits : The Postojna Cave tourist route is guided for groups of people of the same nationality and language and is subject to charges. Initially you travel about 4km on a train and then you walk for about an hour and a half inside them.
