The caves at Postojna (

are Slovenia's biggest subterranean attraction.
The entrance might look like nothing, but when you get whisked 4km underground on
a train and only then start exploring, you begin to get a sense of the scale. The caverns are a
seemingly endless parade of crystal fancies - from frilly chandeliers and dripping spaghetti
formations, to paper-thin sheets and stupendous stalagmites, all patiently laid down over
the centuries by the simple drip of mineral-rich water. A theatrical experience in silent
stone.
