The beauty of Postojna Cave in Slovenia

(kulpims)
1 decade 6 years 10 months 2 weeks ago

The cave Postojnska jama was first opened to tourism in 1819 and its attendance has continually grown since then, attracting visitors from all over the world. Although the Postojnska jama is in the first place a show cave, it is very important from the scientific point of view, regarding the investigations of the history of cave sciences. Valvasor was the pioneer of natural sciences investigations in the Postojnska jama already in 1689. The first exemplars of cave fauna were discovered (cave beetle in 1831) or rediscovered (Proteus in 1797) and thus the Postojnska jama is often called the cradle of speleobiology.
