Postojna Cave

We left Ljubljana this morning and took a bus ride to southwestern Slovenia to visit the Postojna Cave.

This cave is the second-longest cave system in the country. The caves were created by the Pivka River. It was first described in the 17th century. In 1818, when the cave was being prepared for a visit by Francis I, the first Emperor of the Austria-Hungary empire, a new area of the cave was discovered accidentally by a local man.
