Day 6 : Ljubjlana and Postojna, Slovenia

We board the 9.40am Ljubjlana-Postojna (pronounced Postoina) after having breakfast at the hostel (included in the price) and arrived Postojna at 10.50.

The train station and Postojna Cave is roughly 2km. There are no bus services from the station and no official taxi stand at the station compound (and the station is on a hill). If you are in luck, you can take the taxi to the cave but I do not know the fare cost. 

The ticket counter worker gave us direction to the cave by foot at it's not hard to find as it is clearly mark. There's also a tourist information center (labelled "Kompas"...hahaha) along the way and we asked for short cuts because the signs are generally for driving direction.

It took us around 25minutes to reach the cave. The price list is as follow depending on the type of ticket:



Note : If you have access to a car, the Postojna Castle is 10km away and might be worth the visit.

The temperature in the cave is 9 degree celsius  and is advisable to wear suitable and waterproof attire. The tour start with a 2km train ride inside the cave, 1km walking (there's a short cut if you have difficulties climbing the hills in the cave) and another 2km train.

After the 2km train ride, the group os divided into several smaller group depending on the language of the tour guide.

Generally the tour is smooth and does not requires demanding fitness capabilities unlike the Skocjan Cave (I wanted to visit this cave in the 1st place but after reading some travel review, I don't think I'm fit enough).

Not many picture were able to be taken since it was dark and use of flash is prohibited.
