The experience

The day starts underground, in a train that carries you into the rock in about ten minutes. Then you step off and walk with your guide. Needle-thin transparent tubes hang from the ceiling of the Hall of Tubes, and you stroll beneath them, looking up at every one. From under the Russian Bridge you reach the Concert Hall, where the white Brilliant formation shines, a sight that takes your breath away. The cave is dark, yet around 100 animal species live here, and the star among them is the proteus, once mistaken for a baby dragon.

Before going up to the castle, you rest on the terrace of a country inn, facing Predjama Castle and its views. The castle sits in the gaping mouth of a cavern halfway up a 123 m cliff, built as an impregnable redoubt. Inside, look up at the holes in the entrance tower ceiling, once used for pouring boiling oil on intruders, then head down into the deep, damp dungeons.

At the top waits Erazem's Nook, an eerie hiding place. Erazem was a headstrong, rebellious robber baron who stole from the rich to give to the poor, which is why Slovenia claims its own Robin Hood. Your audio guide comes with the castle entry, so the story stays with you as you climb.
