The Wonders of Karst

Postojna–Predjama Castle–Vipava–Štanjel

We will start our tour by visiting Postojna Cave, a part of the largest known cave system in Slovenia. This mysterious underground world famous for its endemic inhabitant – the human fish – is partly explored by train. We will then proceed to Predjama Castle, formerly owned by the notorious knight Erasmus. Our lunch will be served in Vipava, where we will also be shown a local wine cellar and enjoy some wine tasting. In the picturesque Karst settlement of Štanjel, we will walk through the medieval village and visit the Lojze Spacal art gallery.
