Hi, dear Hive community,
It was Tuesday and we both took a day off. When it comes to birthdays, we really want to spend at least one day in a year in an interesting way and doing something memorable.
This time Steffen had a birthday and since he never visited any cave so far, it was a good plan. We booked our ticket at 11 in the morning. One adult entry ticket will cost you around 30€. If you want to visit nearby sightseeing (a museum, Predjama Castle, etc), they already have special arrangements, where you get some small discount.
When we reached, we saw big queue waiting for entering the cave. That's the one thing we didn't expect and like - so much crowd! Maybe it's not the best idea to visit the popular places in the main tourist season.
The fun thing of Postojna cave is that it has big wagon, with which you are travelling deep inside the cave. When you reach, you are free to walk around with the guide in your preferred language.
We passed many different places, few chambers each with it's unique elements - stalagmites, stalactites, pillars, spaghetti, courtier etc.
At the end there was a big place where they keep safe famous cave animals - Proteus, which is an endemit living only in this area. It was sad to see that since there is too much lightning also animals and habitats are changing and going to worse.
After, we went on a nice lunch, where we enjoyed a good glass of wine and excellent food. At home, we had a nice small family celebration with homemade cake.
Have a good time!!
