Vilenica Cave

Highlight • Cave

Vilenica underground cave, culture, forma viva, nature

Tip by

8.77 km

The Village of Lokev near the Italian border presents in its center a strange tower which turns out to be a military museum. The proximity to Italy means that you already have all the influence of its gastronomy.

Statue of Jakob and the Postojna Cave Dragon

Highlight • Monument

sculpture of the brave shepherd boy Jakob and the Postojna Cave dragon.

Sculpture in memory of the legend of the Dragon and Jakob who defeated it.
Legend has it that once upon a time, a terrible dragon lived in Postojna Cave, which everyone was afraid of. The locals called for help from the enterprising shepherd boy Jakob, who tamed the dragon by bringing him a calfskin filled with lime as a meal.

When the monster took a sip of water after lunch, it exploded. To thank Jakob for his courage, the locals erected a statue at the entrance to the village and sewed a bag from the remains of the dragon's skin, and since then the people of Postojna are (we are) known as "purse-takers".

View of Predjama Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Set in a karst cave, Predjama Castle (Castel Lueghi) is surrounded by mysterious legends.
Built starting from the 13th century, in the 15th century it became the refuge of Erasmus Lueger, a rebel knight who became famous for his raids and compared to Robin Hood, because he stole from the rich to give to the poor.
To put an end to his thieving activities, the imperial forces besieged the castle. Erasmus managed to resist for several months thanks to a series of caves and tunnels through which he was able to stock up on food. It was a betrayal, according to legend, that ended his resistance and his life.
The castle can be visited.

July 7, 2022,Giorno 9 - Da Postojna a Trieste

Day 9 - From Postojna to Trieste. Even today we are graced by time. The rain stops at 7.30 and we leave for the very suggestive Predjama castle.
