.jpg "The part closest to the entrance is a web of passages leading into the underground world. In the artificially extended area behind the Jamski dvorec Restaurant, there is the cave entrance and the cave railway stop where visitors board the train. Both natural parts on the other hand serve as exits from the cave. In the part close to the entrance there is also the Passage of Old Signatures, whose walls bear witness to visitors dating back to 13th century. One of the most magnificent sights is the river Pivka mightily flowing into the depths of the cave.")

Only the foundations, which stand in the middle of the yard, are presented. The defence towers and the residential wings stood around the central tower already in the 14th century. The residence of the Bishops of Friezing and the living quarters of their housekeepers had to be thoroughly renovated after the earthquake in 1511. The central tower obtained a new console periphery and roof, and the southeastern tower with a chapel was built (1527). Among the active builders was Master Jurko from Loka. Extensive remodelling with the construction of new surrounding residence areas in three levels followed in the 18th century.")

.jpg "The part closest to the entrance is a web of passages leading into the underground world. In the artificially extended area behind the Jamski dvorec Restaurant, there is the cave entrance and the cave railway stop where visitors board the train. Both natural parts on the other hand serve as exits from the cave. In the part close to the entrance there is also the Passage of Old Signatures, whose walls bear witness to visitors dating back to 13th century. One of the most magnificent sights is the river Pivka mightily flowing into the depths of the cave.")
.jpg "The old cave is the part of the cave which was discovered in 1818. It was on the route visitors were guided on in the early days of cave tours. This is where the cave railway mostly runs today and parts of the old footpath are still preserved. Beautiful flowstone creations are found in it and traces of the river can still be seen on parts of the walls. The part that stands out most is the Congress Hall (previously known as the Ballroom), where magnificent festivities used to be organized. Not far away from the Congress Hall, on the left side of the track, there used to be a small building which housed an underground post office. It was set up in 1899 and used to operate on this spot until 1927, when it was moved further into the cave")

.jpg "The great mountain (Calvary) is an underground hall formed due to the collapse of the ceiling, proof of which is a mound of collapse rocks and debris. The ceiling reveals precisely where individual limestone layerscollapsed. Water seeps through the cracks and deposits calcite in the form of speleothems on the ceiling. On account of crumbling, the stalactites are smaller and younger, while the ground is covered in giant stalagmites over half a million years old. The top of the Great Mountain offers an amazing view, in particular of the Russian Bridge. Located at the foothills of the Great Mountain there is the exit station of the cave railway, where visitors leave the train and continue the tour on foot.")

For this reason the stalagmite maintains its amazingly white and shiny appearance and has thus understandably been the symbol of the Postojna Cave for decades. The walls in the background boast calcite curtains and a calcite cascade called The Organ. Tiny stalactites hang from the ceiling. A truly breathtaking sight.")

Only the foundations, which stand in the middle of the yard, are presented. The defence towers and the residential wings stood around the central tower already in the 14th century. The residence of the Bishops of Friezing and the living quarters of their housekeepers had to be thoroughly renovated after the earthquake in 1511. The central tower obtained a new console periphery and roof, and the southeastern tower with a chapel was built (1527). Among the active builders was Master Jurko from Loka. Extensive remodelling with the construction of new surrounding residence areas in three levels followed in the 18th century.")
