Postojna Slovenia

The area is known to have been populated since the paleolithic period due to the discovery of a cave settlement near the town of Postojna called Betal Rock Shelter. The town lies on the Pivka River. Written sources first mention the settlement in the 13th century and in 1432 it became a borough. It was proclaimed a town in 1909. From the late Middle Ages, it was part of the Duchy of Carniola and hence of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was under Italian rule between 1918 and 1943 (nominally to 1947) and was part of the province of Trieste as Postumia. The area is especially known for its majestic cave, the Postojna cave and the Predjama castle, a castle built into an overhanging rock. Postojna Cave is a 24,120-m long karst cave system near Postojna. It is the second-longest cave system in the country as well as one of its top tourism sites. The caves were created by the Pivka River. The cave system forms a spectacular underground web of tunnels, halls, passages and alleys, while showcasing the diversity of Karts features along the way. Predjama Castle is one of the most picturesque castles in the country. It is built into a karst cave and situated just a few kilometres from the entrance to Postojna Cave. The castle became known as the seat of the knight Erazem Lueger (or Luegger), lord of the castle in the 15th century and a renowned robber baron. He was the son of the Imperial Governor of Trieste, Nikolaj Lueger. Nowadays, it is a museum on five floors that shows the life in the 16th century, with an armoury, dungeon, halls, living quarters and other castle facilities. Interesting is the dialogue between man-made architecture and natural structures that combine into the castle’s fortification system. A guided tour of the castle is highly recommended, where visitors can learn about the legends and stories that were made throughout centuries.
