Postojna Cave, now in
its second century of
attracting throngs of
admirers from all over
the world, was also a
challenge for the bold
explorers of the
underworld who, with
patience and
perseverance, penetrated
ever deeper underground.
It is thanks to the far-sighted
managers of the cave
that the newly
discovered sections were
quickly made suitable
for mass visits.
The visitor’s curiosity is
satisfied by facts about the
formation of caves, a guided
visit through passages and
chambers and, above all, by
observing the stalactites
hanging from the ceiling, the
stalagmites growing up from the
floor, the pillars formed when
stalactites and stalagmites meet,
the folds of calcite curtains
and the other sequences of
fantastic shapes and forms.
The desire for knowledge has
also prompted experts in karst
phenomena and life in the karst
to research the special
geological features of the cave,
the formation and development of
speleothems (the generic term
for calcite formations in caves),
and the living creatures that
are found in caves – both those
that have strayed underground by
chance and those that have
adapted to life in eternal
darkness
