The hiking trail joins the Postojna Cave tourist trail, where the only cave train in the world takes you to the exit.

3. Eastern Passage in the Cave below Predjama Castle: By taking a tour of the East Passage visitors enter a completely natural part of the cave system. As there are no clearly marked or well-trodden footpaths and with the Belščica Stream along the way, one can here observe the unspoilt cave environment and the processes that take place while the cave world is being created.
