About This Tour

This comprehensive Best of Slovenia day trip takes you from the fairy-tale beauty of Lake Bled to the underground wonders of Postojna Cave and the legendary Predjama Castle – all with premium inclusions and expert local guidance.

Your Epic Slovenia Adventure Includes:

Medieval Lake Bled & Castle Experience

Stand atop the dramatic 130-meter cliff at Bled Castle, Slovenia’s oldest fortress with over 1,000 years of history. Savor the world-famous Bled cream cake (kremšnita) while gazing across the pristine glacial lake surrounded by the majestic Julian Alps. Optional traditional pletna boat ride to the mystical island church where you can ring the 500-year-old bell of wishes.

Meet Slovenia’s beloved mascot, the olm (human fish), affectionately called the “baby dragon” – a living fossil found nowhere else on Earth.

Europe’s Most Haunted Castle

Experience the spine-tingling Predjama Castle, dramatically built into a 123-meter rock face and holding the Guinness World Record as the world’s largest cave castle.

Detailed Itinerary

1

A short ride brings us to the shores of beautiful glacial lake of Bled surrounded by Julian Alps. This place is a nature escape for those searching peace and fresh mountain air. To step back in time, we will visit a typical medieval gothic Bled castle built on 130 m (426 feet) high cliff. More than 1000 years old building.

2

Number one visited attraction in Slovenia is the Queen of the caves – Postojna cave. It is a system of chambers, halls and passages that you enter by open cave train which adds to the experience of depths and adventure. Countless stalagmite and stalactite formations are lit well enough even to take pictures. You will hear about Slovenia’s most unusual creature that we are fond of and call a human fish. 

3

There is one of a kind, the Renaissance-style Predjama castle which has a reputation for being the most hunted castle in Europe. It is nestled in the mouth of a cave and is set within a 123-meter-tall (404 feet) rock face. Let us walk you through the story of chateau’s famous resident knight Erazem Lueger.

4

Optional visit to the tiny island of Lake Bled in the middle of the lake is possible with a traditional wooden rowing boat called ‘pletna’. In the island’s church, you can ring a bell of wishes, a tradition, that is most possibly 500 years old.
