The cave is 24 kilometers long and reaches 200 meters deep into the ground. The cave is surrounded by holes, connected by tunnels, forming a winding and deep cave promenade. There are countless stalactites and stalagmites everywhere in the cave, and there are halls that can accommodate thousands of people. There are small railways and electric tour buses built into the cave, and the one-and-a-half-hour journey includes two subway rides and a 1.7-kilometer slope with no steps. Postojna Cave is 62 kilometers northeast of Ljubljana. The karst cave is formed by the dissolution of the underground undercurrent in the limestone stratum after three million years, and the depth reaches 200 meters. It has now been turned into a nature reserve. Note: The temperature in the cave is only 8°C all year round, so you need to keep warm, and the train seats may be wet.
