Postojna Cave is located in the Republic of Slovenia, 54 kilometers southwest of the capital Ljubana, in the city of Postojna, and is the second largest cave in Europe. The cave is 27 kilometers long, 115 meters deep, and 562 meters above sea level. It is formed by long-term dissolution of limestone formations by the undercurrent of the Bivka River.
Postojna Cave is the largest stalactite cave in Slovenia, with a total length of more than 20 kilometers and a depth of 200 meters. The Postojna cave is a gem of karst terrain. Slovenia's karst terrain (Kras) is distributed between the two cities of Postojna and Trieste, and long-term river erosion of limestone lands is the main reason for the production of underground lakes and karst caves.
The tour of the Postojna cave lasts about an hour and a half. Tourists visit more than five kilometers of underground tunnels, first take an electric train inside the cave (four kilometers), then walk more than a kilometer from the big mountain (Velika gora), pass through the pretty cave (Lepe jame), to the concert hall (Koncertna dvorana) and admire the colorful stalactites and stalagmites, which is the most beautiful part of the cave.
Today's itinerary is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Zagreb to Postojna Cave, and the ticket we bought was about the same time at 1:00 pm, but this time it was quite nervous because there were only ten minutes left when we arrived, and the problem was that the parking location was far away and difficult to find when we arrived. Finally, we turned back to the crowded place, and saw where many buses were parked, so we followed into the parking and ticket collection entrance, and an employee happened to ride a motorcycle over and asked if we wanted to help, which saved our lives and saved a lot of time, because in addition to parking the bus, you can also park cars, and this parking lot is about 5 minutes closest to the entrance, we quickly arrived at the door and were ready to queue up to enter when it was already 1 o'clock, but the problem is that we have to go to the door to exchange tickets for online booking, and the two are at least two or three hundred meters away. The two of us ran back and forth, and it was really dangerous to catch up in the end!
The light in the cave is very low, you can't use the flash, so you can only turn up the ISO value of the camera, some of the photos below have the ISO set to 12800, so the quality of the photos is relatively rough.
After we entered the cave, we boarded the small train, thinking it would only take a short ride, but it took about 9 minutes!! And they are all shuttled among the rocks and stalactites in the cave!! It's so shocking!!
From the small train, you can enjoy the view of various places inside the cave, but the dim lighting and moving train make it extremely difficult to take pictures
The top of the cave is full of dense sharp stalactites, and looking at it for a long time sometimes causes a little creepy.
The reason why the Postojnske jame cave is the most visited is because the train is laid here and the concrete floor is laid in the cave, making it more accessible than Park škocjanske Jame.
Calcium acid crystallizes to form a curtain-like "stone curtain", some of which are as thin as cicada wings, and can be illuminated by light from inside
Cross the bridge built by Russian prisoners of war in 1916 – Russian Passage to the theme cave complex, the first is the pasta room, where you can see small stalactites hanging down from above, like tiny pasta hanging on top, hence its reputation.
The stalactites in Whitehall are old, and the higher the degree of calcification, the whiter the color
In the upper left photo, the 5-meter-tall stalagmite as bright as ice cream is named Brilliant, this white is as beautiful as a bridal dress, and even emits a diamond-like luster, which is amazing. And the calm stone pillar on the side is the groom, just made into a pair!
This photo with tulips ends today's trip.
