|
| Postojna Cave's most beautiful stalagmite is called the Brilliant, a 5m shiny white limestone formation.

|
The baroque pillar, which together with the Brilliant, become the symbols of this cave
|
| The colors of these pillars gave us clue on what minerals they were composed of. Red is iron, white is calcium
|
| The inhabitants of the cave, the olms (human fish), can be found in the 'mini-aquarium' in the centre.
|
| The underground river Pivka lies underneath the cave

The concert hall, which is the largest cavern and could accommodate more than 10000 people for musical performances
|
| This concert hall is also the end of the tour where you have to wait for the train to take you back... there is a souvenir shop and a toilet while you wait
|
| Escaped from the centre of the earth... back to reality!!
|
| Souvenirs of the olms can be found in these shops, I guess you don't get to see them very often elsewhere.

The good, the bad and the ugly!
