Excursion to Bled
– half day tour (14.00 –
19.00)
We recommend to visitors, who are
interested in learning something more about Bled, to take a
sightseeing tour around this resort. Bled was discovered by the
tourists in the middle of the 19th century, after a Swiss doctor,
Mr.Arnold Rikli, had built a climactic health centre there.
Bled is often mentioned as the pearl of
the Alpine region. It is unique with its emerald-green lake, a church
on the island in the middle of the lake and a medieval castle from the
11th century, perched on a cliff above the lake.
After a bus ride around the lake a
guided tour of Bled castle will start. Then you will be taken by
Bled's typical "pletna" boat to the island.
The price
55 EUR per person (minimum
20 persons) includes bus transport, English speaking guide, entrance
fee to the castle and pletna boat to the island.

Excursion to Postojna caves – half day
tour ( 9.00 – 15.00)
Postojna caves, an impressive,
two million years old underground world of fabulous stalactites,
stalagmites, pillars, and translucent curtains, constitute one of the
most beautiful natural attractions in Europe. A ride by electric train
will be followed by a guided walk through a series of illuminated
halls and underground channels of a total length of 27 km. The
underground waters are the home of the world’s unique, rare, and
endangered amphibian Proteus anguinus. After the visit to the caves,
you will stop at a local Karst farm to taste terrano wine and
prosciuto ham. For more information, see

20 persons) includes bus transport, English-speaking guide, entrance
