PREDJAMA CASTLE

If you missed our post about Postojna cave you should read if first :) 

Since we have never been to Predjama castle it would be a shame if we would not go and check it out. 

While walking towards the castle ( it's a bit hidden and you can not see it right away) there was this magnificent sight of this really mysterious architecture. On the way in, you get an walkie talkie tour guide (which I thought it was brilliant) and your tour of the castle starts with pressing button #1. There were a lot of interesting things, like view from the toilet window (3. picture from top to bottom), how man-made walls meets natural cave walls, etc.. 

We were really stunned by, well mostly, everything, but the most we were stunned by the fact, how in the earth, they placed the castle in the cave. It seems almost mysterious, like how they built pyramids?! Fascinating and mesmerizing sight!

˝The Predjama Castle reigns over the surrounding area, perched high up in a vertical cliff, 9 km from the Postojna Cave, in the idyllic village of Predjama. It is an interesting and romantic sight throughout the year: in the spring and the summer its surroundings are abundant with blossoms and flowers, in the autumn it is clad in the colours of surrounding forests and it is at its most enchanting in the winter when the surrounding area is covered in snow. It was referred to in writing for the first time in 1202. Predjama Caastle is the Guinness World Record Holder as the largest cave castle in the world.˝ ( Postojna Cave )
