Postojna Cave
Two million years in the making, Postojna is one of the great show caves of the world — and the only one you enter aboard a little electric train, which has rattled through the dark since 1872. Beyond the platform, 24 kilometres of passages drip with stalactites, among them the dazzling white five-metre “Brilliant”. Watch for the olm, the pale, blind cave salamander locals once swore was a baby dragon. Well over 40 million visitors have made the trip.
