The tour will include visit of the cave and seeing of the famous Proteus human fish. We will also take a look at the Predjama castle, which is located just a few kilometres from Postojna Cave.

Behind the largest cave castle in the world, there is a network of secret tunnels, from where the knight Erazem of Predjama would set out on his plundering expeditions.
