Bus Hire in Postojna, Slovenia

An electric train carries visitors more than three kilometres into Postojna Cave before anyone has to start walking, a system that has been shuttling tourists through the karst passages since the mid-19th century in one form or another, making it one of the oldest show caves anywhere to use rail transport. The chambers beyond hold stalactites and stalagmites built up over tens of thousands of years, some formations pale enough to have earned nicknames tied to their ghostly colour.

Deeper in the same cave system lives the olm, a blind, pale salamander that can survive years without eating and was once mistaken by locals for a baby dragon. A short drive away, Predjama Castle takes the cave theme further still: built directly into the mouth of a cliff cave, it holds the Guinness record for the largest cave castle in the world, and its most famous resident, the outlaw knight Erazem, reportedly used a secret cave passage to keep himself supplied during a year-long siege.
