Ljubljana Slovenia: Postojna, Slovenia

The stairs that lead the way to the entrance of the cave. When we arrived we went to the area that we thought the tours were supposed to start, but it was closed! Meanwhile many were complaining about the expensive tour ticket. Come to find out we had just missed the tour, the next one wasn't for an hour. Our ticket even had the time of the tour on it! Of course that would have been too easy to just look at the ticket!

The tour was very interesting to say the least. It was 90 minutes long. In the beginning we all boarded an open-aired train-like mode of transportation. The tunnels that the train went through made many of us fear hitting out heads on the ceiling. We rode the train for two kilometers before getting out and walking for four. It is the largest cave structure in both Slovenia and Italy. The rooms of the cave were absolutely massive and the crevices went unbelievably deep. There was a group of Russian Prisoners of War that made a bridge in the cave. (I don't know the whole story behind it, but we crossed over the bridge that they made during WWI) There are numerous pictures of within the cave below.

The tour guide had some fun with the figures that could be seen inside the cave. There was a spaghetti room (not pictured), a place where the spaghetti sauce spilled over, and a camel with rider.

The "Venician Mask" that was formed in the cave.

There was a dinasaur skeleton in the last portion of the caves where we walked back to the train.

Underground river near the exit of the cave. This river runs through parts of the cave as well as surfaces numberous times. This is part of the water source that feeds one of the rivers that runs through Ljubljana.
