Postojna Cave, Slovenia

Postojna Cave is a 20,570 m long Karst cave system near Postojna, Slovenia. It is one of Slovenian top tourism sites. The caves were created by the Pivka River. The cave was first described in  the 17th century by Johann Weichard Valvasor, and a new area of the cave was discovered accidentally in 1818 by local Luka Čeč, when he was preparing the hitherto known part of the cave for a visit by Francis I, the first Emperor of Austria. In 1819, the caves were opened to the public, and Čeč went on to become the first official tourist guide for the caves. 5.3 km of the caves are open to the public, the longest publicly accessible depth of any cave system in the world.

Hvala puno Tina! :)

Slovenia

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and its largest city. It is located in the centre of the country in the Ljubljana Basin, and is a mid-sized city of some 270,000 inhabitants. Throughout its history, it has been influenced by its geographic position at the crossroads of the Slavic world with the Germanic and Latin cultures. For centuries, Ljubljana was the capital of the historical region of Carniola and in the 20th century it became the cultural, educational, economic, political and administrative centre of Slovenia, independent since 1991. Its transport connections, concentration of industry, scientific and research institutions and cultural tradition are contributing factors to its leading position.

Hvala Simona!

Bled, Slovenia

Really nice postcards showing view of one of the most beautiful places in Slovenia - Bled. It is really gorgeous lake located in Slovenian Alps. I have visited Slovenia, but have never been to Bled. I hope I will have an opportunity to visit it, as I am fascinated with its beauty.

Hvala Tina! :)
