Ljubljana …
This place should be on your list, if you are going to go to Slovenia make sure that you include this place it is a must see and you sure won?t regret it. It is absolutely not Slovenia?s capital for nothing. They offer young people and tourists big parties and concerts of popular celebrities. It is a place where the fun just won?t stop! But even if it offers that much fun it is still considered as the sixth safest city in the world. During daytime it is very peaceful in Slovenia and the atmosphere is perfect for families and young people. The people of Ljubljana are also very hospitable and caring and that is another good reason to visit this part of Slovenia.

Bled …
It is called the paradise on Earth. It is also very well known because of its lake that goes after its name, Lake Bled. It is the main attraction. It?s possible to swim in it from summer time up until September. There is a beautiful and small island at the middle of the lake and that is why they call it heaven? Because when you are there you have this beautiful view of the clean and lake all around you. I should tell you about the price though, it is also similar to the heights of heaven and it is worth every penny of it.

Postojna cave …
This is the second greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia, it is said that the first one belongs to Bled. It lives through its name, the caves here are magnificent. It gives home to the endemic olm, or the largest troglodytic amphibian in the world? In Slovenian?s language its English translation is the human fish. Inside the cave you would be able to ride on a train and the train will take you for a ride inside the cave, so that you can just sit down and relax while you enjoy the cave?s amazing view and at the same time you can listen to the tour guide who would satisfy you with amazing information and stories about the cave.

Postojna cave, in Slovenian language called “Postojnska jama” is second greatest Slovenian tourist attraction (first place belongs to Bled). Postojna cave is a name for a system of caves, typical for unique Slovenian landscape called Karst (Kras). The caves were hollowed out by the river Pivka. Postojna cave is with its 20.570 m also the longest cave system known in Slovenia and the most visited tourist cave in Europe. Postojna cave was opened to the public in 1819.

Postojna cave is important because of the special natural environment, giving home to the endemic olm, the largest trogloditic amphibian in the world (In Slovenian language it is called ?Človeška ribica?, which in direct translation means ?human fish?).

It is time to focus on the tourist side of Postojna cave. You are probably wondering, how it looks like when you come to Postojna cave. Considering its length (20.570 m), you may think your sightseeing might look like very long underground hike. Don?t worry! The whole Postojna cave is not opened to the public and the part that is opened to the public has an underground train, driving you around the cave. So, you will just sit and enjoy, listen to the tourist guide informing you about many important details about the cave.

So, by now you are probably asking your self ?Is the Postojna cave the right place for me to visit on my Slovenia holidays??. I believe it is, because it is an experience you won?t forget (train ride, unique water made sculptures, olm, ?).

But, you must know that Postojna cave system is only one part of 8500 Slovenian caves. So, if you don?t want to pay (let face it) high price for visiting Postojna cave, you can still see other Slovenian caves. They aren?t as long as Postojna cave (but many of them are longer than you can walk in one day) and train won?t drive you around, but they are beautiful and they will reveal you many secrets about Karst.
