  • Skocjan Caves Park, Divaca, Slovenia
    The Skocjan Caves are the most important underground phenomenon in the Karst and in 1986 were entered on UNESCO’s list of natural and cultural world heritage sites. The underground canyon of the river Reka that runs through the caves is so far the largest known in the World;  the river not only deepens its riverbed through erosion, but also by means of corrosion – it dissolves the limestone. The Skocjan Caves consist of eleven caves. The exceptional character of the caves is mainly in its dimensions to which visitors are not left indifferent. The enormous underground spaces achieve their maximum dimension in Martel's Hall, which reached 146 m in height and has a width of 120 m!. A colorful mix of enormous stalactites, collapsed ravines, river canyons, natural bridges and limestone pools are examples of outstanding natural beauty. To stand on the natural bridge with breathtaking sites and views and look at the big river disappearing underground on the bottom of the Great Valley, 160 meters below the surface, is both majestic and frightening. The exceptional volume of the underground canyon is what distinguishes the Škocjan Caves from other caves and places them among the most famous underground features in the world. Moderate walking required on 3km tourist trail; constant temperature in the cave 12°C .

Titanesque, vertigineux, dantesque… les superlatifs ne manquent pas pour décrire le dédale de grottes toutes plus extraordinaires les unes que les autres. Une stalagmite géante (de la taille d’un immeuble), un canyon à faire froid dans le dos, une rivière fâchée, une cathédrale naturelle, des décors sortis tout droit de l’univers Tolkien… Si vous optez pour le chemin numéro 3 après la visite guidée, pensez à prendre une bouteille d’eau et un peu de carburant. Ça grimpe, ça descend, c’est sportif ! Mais tellement beau… De bonnes chaussures de marche sont également indispensables (on parcourt en tout environ 6km). Il fait tellement chaud en cette période que les 12 degrés dans les grottes passent crème. Nos pulls sont restés dans le sac à dos. La visite n’est pas indiquée pour les plus jeunes enfants, c’est rude, et les hyperactifs doivent rester sous surveillance constante. Un bébé a rythmé la balade de ses pleurs incessants, l’aventure n’était pas de son goût et les parents devaient être bien épuisés. Ah oui ! Pensez à réserver avant d’y aller ! En résumé, vous ne regretterez pas les 24€ dépensés pour 3 heures de visite au sein de cette merveille de la nature.

Please don't stop going. It's a unique experience. I still dream of flying through that big crater underground. Unique

An incredible experience given it's largely unspoilt presentation - you walk the tour rather than sit on a train. HOWEVER, be aware although many of the pathways are laid concrete, there are still a lot of steps to negotiate, so anybody with mobility issues will struggle, which is when Postojna wins. No photos can be taken (stated reason is to prevent algae growth from artificial light, but I believe it is to keep the groups moving and not have selfie-traffic jams!). Amazing to see the original steps and walkways carved out of the cave walls 100 years ago. Just imagining what those early explorer/tourists could see back then was mind-blowing. Advised to arrive early before scheduled tour start, but many still turned up after kick-off and were able to join OK. Groups are split into smaller Slovenian, Italian & English speaking groups (maybe more in high season). At the end of the cave tour, you can witness the chaos picture taking has on the cohesion of the groups! Souvenir shop has some really good guide books with stunning photos for €5 in many languages, so no need to fret on missing those pics. Fantastic day out, tour lasts approx 90 mins and tour guide is happy to take numerous questions at the many narrative points. Total underground distance is about 2km and at no time was it claustrophobic as ceilings and walkways are tall and wide. Smallest is 100m section at start. Even in winter, temp was about 10C; you will get dripped on, but not soaked, so waterproofs not necessary, but good footwear is! Enjoy, best €16 ever spent!
