<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/brulelaker/55600815657/" title="Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55600815657_f3e6f96d69_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle" /></a></p>

<p>The Postojna Cave was first described in the 17th century by the pioneer of study of karst phenomena, Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, although graffiti inside dated to 1213 indicates a much longer history. In 1818, when the cave was being prepared for a visit by Francis I, the first Emperor of Austrian Empire, a new area of the cave was discovered accidentally by Luka Čeč, a local man in charge of lighting the cave’s lamps. In the 1850s, the Austrian-Czech geographer Adolf Schmidl published the first comprehensive scientific overview of the Postojna caves and the Pivka Basin. In 1819, after Archduke Ferdinand visited the caves, they became officially known as a tourist destination. Electric lighting was added in 1884, preceding even Ljubljana. In 1872, cave rails were laid for the first cave train for tourists. At first, guides pushed trains themselves; gas locomotives were introduced in the early 20th century.<br />
<br />
During World War I, Russian prisoners of war were forced to construct a bridge across a large chasm inside the cave. During World War II, German occupying forces used the cave to store nearly 1,000 barrels of aircraft fuel, which were destroyed in April 1944 by Slovene partisans. The fire burned for seven days, destroying a large section of the cave and blackening the entrance. After 1945, electric locomotives replaced electric models. In June 2015 and May 2017, the cave administration reported that cave divers had explored a further underwater section of the cave leading towards Planina Cave, thus lengthening the cave system from 67,490 feet to 79,860 feet. The cave also houses the world’s first and only underground post office which initially opened in 1899.</p>
