Nature
Pivka Cave is one of the last two karst caves along the underground Pivka River before it disappears and resurfaces in Planina Cave. In Pivka Cave, a tour follows the underground Pivka River. The Pivka and Rak rivers emerge from Planina Cave as the Unica River.
Black Cave offers a cave tour through large chambers and horizontal passages featuring dark stalactites. The Vivarium is located 50 metres from the entrance to Postojna Cave and features a speleobiological exhibition on karst studies, the underground environment and typical cave animals. The exhibition at the Vivarium is unguided, allowing visitors to explore it at their own pace.
Culture
Predjama Castle offers a guided tour via an app, which is included in the admission price. The Stara Dama Museum is also located in the Predjama Castle visitor centre and features a collection on the Isonzo Front in the First World War and a hunting collection.
The hunting collection at the Stara Dama Museum presents local forest animals, various forms of hunting, the work of hunters and forest rangers, as well as historical hunting equipment. Visitors with combination tickets for Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle can use a paid shuttle bus between the two attractions, subject to availability.
