| Slovenia | Postojna Cave | If Slovenia's land-based scenery has already satisfied you, then its underground palace will truly amaze you, making you wonder if it's part of the Earth itself. Most of Slovenia is karst terrain, rich in underground treasures. When rainwater or groundwater comes into contact with rock, karst formations occur. Over time, erosion and dissolution create numerous caves and underground rivers. Postojna Cave is the second largest cave in Europe, stretching 27 kilometers, of which only 5 kilometers are currently open to visitors. Visitors can ride a small train inside the cave, giving you an idea of its vastness. Sitting in the front row, I felt like I had entered another world. The crystal chandeliers highlight the stalactites, creating a gorgeous yet unobtrusive effect. Unlike the colorful lights of other caves, only a yellowish light illuminates the cave, revealing its pristine beauty. It's said that it takes ten years for a stalactite to grow just one millimeter tall. This is a masterpiece of nature, created bit by bit. The caves are incredibly varied, with stalactites changing with the size and composition of the cave. Within this craggy landscape, imagination is constantly on the line. If Postojna Cave feels like an alternate side of Earth, then the Škocjan Caves feel like something from another universe. I personally recommend the latter. Although less accessible and photography is prohibited, it remains remarkably pristine, giving you the feeling of returning to the countryside. The damp and dim atmosphere creates a hazy illusion; the dim lights and the faint sound of flowing water add a touch of mystery to every step. A visit to the Škocjan Caves is like an exploration into the center of the Earth, transforming your understanding of the Earth with a breathtaking visual experience. Photography is prohibited inside the caves, so you'll have to explore on your own. Some places truly require personal experience—traveling with your eyes. _____________________________________________ //Postojna Cave// 📍 Jamska cesta 30, 6230 Postojna 🕑 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM (depending on the month) //Škocjan Cave// 📍 Matavun 12, 6215 Divača, Slovenia 🕑 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM (June-September) #mytravoto #LifeisANon-EndingJourney #BestTravelExperiences #TravelInspiration #NaturalWonder #OverseasTravel
