Postojna Cave 3

During World War II, German occupying forces used the cave to store nearly 1000 barrels of aircraft fuel, which were destroyed in April 1944 by Slovene Partisans. The fire burned for seven days, destroying a large section of the cave and blackening the entrance.

After 1945, the gas locomotive was replaced by an electric one. About 3.3 miles of the cave system are open to the public.
