The mysterious Postojnska jama (cave)
world is the part of Slovenia which has been carved, shaped and created
by water; deep within these world -famous caves hide the most precious
beauty created througt millions of years, a drop after a drop, year after
a year...
More than 26 millions people from all over the
world have admired the stalagmites and the stalactites of the Postojnska
jama in 175 years of organised tourism. However, ancient signatures in
the entrance passages prove that the cave was first visited in the 13
th
century.
The 20-kilometre long underworld system is a
miracle in itself, but one gets truly astounded at the look of the mysterious
'human fish' - Olm (Proteus
anguinus - take a look to the background...), wondering
at the strange form of life preserved in the underground kingdom. another
mystery of the underground...
The cave is accessible without special equpment,
and has a constant temperature of 8° C. Visitors are taken for a tour by
a special cave train, accompanied by experienced guides. A visit takes
an hour and a half. |
