Lake Bled, Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle Day Trip
Embark on an unforgettable small-group day trip from Ljubljana and discover the three of Slovenia’s most iconic attractions: Lake Bled, Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle.
Starting the day trip, we’ll first head from Ljubljana to Bled. When we arrive, we’ll board a traditional “pletna” boat and cross the shimmering Lake Bled with its turquoise colour and the Julian Alps in the background. When we land on a very small and charming Bled Island, you can seize the opportunity to ring the wishing bell by the church!
After returning to the mainland, we’ll visit the historic Bled Castle, perched high on the top of a rock overseeing the lake and its island beneath. You’ll have time to enjoy a cup of coffee with the most beautiful view and try “kremsnita”, a very famous vanilla cream cake, originating from the Bled area.
From Bled, we’ll continue our small-group day trip to a world-famous Postojna Cave, one of the largest cave systems in Europe. A special train will take us to the very heart of the amazing underground world of stalagmites and stalactites, passing through magnificent halls and galleries. We’ll then explore this amazing network of caves on foot and will visit the most famous Postojna Cave animal – the human fish (Proteus anguinus).
Towards the afternoon, after coming back from Postojna Cave, a bus will take us on a short drive to one of the most captivating and unique castles in Slovenia – Predjama Castle, the largest cave castle perched in the middle of a 123-metre-high cliff, blending seamlessly with its rocky surrounding.

Starting the day trip, we’ll first head from Ljubljana to Bled. When we arrive, we’ll board a traditional “pletna” boat and cross the shimmering Lake Bled with its turquoise colour and the Julian Alps in the background. When we land on a very small and charming Bled Island, you can seize the opportunity to ring the wishing bell by the church!
After returning to the mainland, we’ll visit the historic Bled Castle, perched high on the top of a rock overseeing the lake and its island beneath. You’ll have time to enjoy a cup of coffee with the most beautiful view and try “kremsnita”, a very famous vanilla cream cake, originating from the Bled area.
From Bled, we’ll continue our small-group day trip to a world-famous Postojna Cave, one of the largest cave systems in Europe. A special train will take us to the very heart of the amazing underground world of stalagmites and stalactites, passing through magnificent halls and galleries. We’ll then explore this amazing network of caves on foot and will visit the most famous Postojna Cave animal – the human fish (Proteus anguinus).
Towards the afternoon, after coming back from Postojna Cave, a bus will take us on a short drive to one of the most captivating and unique castles in Slovenia – Predjama Castle, the largest cave castle perched in the middle of a 123-metre-high cliff, blending seamlessly with its rocky surrounding. If you are a fan of the Witcher series, this castle is a must-see!
