VIP POSTOJNA CAVE:
»Out of This World!«
A VIP tour is the most exclusive way to experience Postojna Cave. With a special reception and your own personal guide, you will get to visit the most magical parts of the largest show cave in Europe.
Up until the year 1818, visitors were able to see just over a mere 300 metres of the cave, while today they can in the course of an hour and a half have a look at more than 5 kilometres of awe-inspiring passages, tunnels and spectacular halls.
The tour around the cave starts at the entry platform of the unique Cave railway, where visitors' hustle and bustle is a common occurrence, especially during the summer. To start with, the cave train will take you through an artificial passage, followed by the first natural passage, which turned black as a result of petrol being destroyed during the Second World War. Next seen as part of the tour are two halls, first the Gothic Hall with numerous flowstone creations, followed by the Congress Hall (in the past known as the Dance Hall), which has for almost two centuries been a highly appealing venue for concerts and other events.
While you are admiring the natural sculptures, the train will take you for 2 kilometres to the Great Mountain, where you will get off and continue the tour on foot. An illuminated path will take you over the Great Mountain (the Cavalry) across the Russian Bridge into the Beautiful Caves consisting of the Spaghetti Hall, the White Hall and the Red Hall – all given their names owing to the characteristic colour and shape of stalactites and stalagmites found in there – until you get to the Brilliant Passage, where the most famous stalagmite and the symbol of the Postojna Cave can be seen – the Brilliant.
As part of the walking tour visitors also have a look at an aquarium with the proteus Proteus (also called the olm or the human fish) in the Concert Hall. The tour ends by getting on the train and returning to the surface.
SUITABLE CLOTHING
The temperature inside the cave is constant. The VIP Tour includes complimentary rental of a warm wool coat, however, do make sure to wear clothing that is suitable for the temperature inside the cave.
GUIDED TOURS
The beauties of the cave and its rich history will be presented by your own personal cave guide – in English or Slovenian. Upon special request, German-, Italian-, French- or Croatian-speaking VIP Tour guides are also available.
