Cliffs, Caverns, and a Robber Knight: A Koper Day Trip to Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle.
From Koper you travel inland into karst country to explore two of Slovenia’s most dramatic sights: the underground halls of Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle, a medieval stronghold dramatically sited in a 100‑metre cliff. The itinerary combines an unforgettable underground train ride and guided cave walk with a visit to the cliffside castle, returning to Koper after a half-day of geology, history and legend.
