Predjama Castle

The Predjama Castle reigns over the surrounding area, not far from the Postojna Cave, in the idyllic village of Predjama. This picturesque, magnificent, defiant, mysterious and impregnable castle has been perched up in the middle of a vertical 123-meter high cliff for more than 800 years. Its romantic appeal is further emphasized by the idyllic Lokva River, which disappears into the underground world deep down below the castle. As the only preserved cave castle in Europe, the Predjama Castle offers a unique insight into the building techniques and resourcefulness of people in the Middle Ages, who were looking for and found a safe harbor for themselves right at the entrance into the cave. During a siege that took place in the 15th century, the castle provided a refuge for its best known and most notorious owner - Erazem of Predjama. The legend about the courageous robber baron Erazem, who remained undefeated until one of his servants betrayed him, is still in people’s minds, inspiring and alluring as ever. It was this safe abode of his which helped the brave knight resist the besiegers without much difficulty for more than a year.

We thought the cave and castle were amazing experiences. We were disappointed however that the excursion “hosts” did not provide any history or background during the drive.
Cave lovers delight!

The cave tour was fun and educational with fantastic views of geological formation half a million years in the making. The train rides in and out made the deeper recesses quite accessible and the lighting provided scenic beauty. The castle portion of the tour was amazing. This one-of-a-kind structure built into the side of a mountain cave was fantastic. Best of all, however, was our guide Ernie. He was fun to listen to, with great humor and knowledge. Highly recommend this tour!

Tour guide would not let us go......too late to go up to cave. Cruise ship was only 15 minutes late to dock....we were told we'd get refunded and never did no matter who we spoke too
Great first impression of Slovenia!

Koper Tours guide Matt was an excellent host for our cruise stop in Koper. From finding him as we disembarked (super easy) to the drive out to the cave and castle (good info on Slovenia history and culture), to a couple quick extra stops on the drive back because we were ahead of schedule. Thanks Matt and Koper Tours! You made our first time experience in Slovenia memorable.
Great experience - bring a coat!

The caves were beautiful but chilly - the train was fun. Our guide was amazing! So personable - answered all our questions, told us a lot about the history of the area. The castle was very interesting - would have loved to have more time there.
