Predjama Castle - Mysterious castle in Guinness Book

Predjama castle in Slovenia is mysterious castle with amazing story. Predjama castle was build in the middle of a 120 meter or 400 feet high rocky cliff 800 years ago. Castle is partly build in the natural cave and is connected to the cave system. According to the Guinness Book of World Records Predjama is the world's largest cave castle and is often on the list of haunted castles. No wonder Ghost Hunters International dedicated one of the episodes to this castle. Predjama even attracted KZbin superstar PewDiePie. Predjama Castle has a fascinating legend about its owner robber knight and a secret passageway that made the besieging armies powerless. This castle is so special and unique, that it ranks among the ten most fascinating castles in the world. It is located near town Postojna in Slovenia, about 60 kilometres from Ljubljana. Visit of Predjama can easily be part of a day trip from Ljubljana. The best way to see it is by getting a combined ticket when visiting Postojna cave.

I can't believe I live 20 km from castle, I visited it like 1000 times in my life, and I watch your video thinking "what a beauty" this piece of rock. Thank you! Love from Slovenia.

[@rokgoesaround]

So nice. Thanks.

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

Slovenia is a beautiful country, tempting with fairy - tale views, soaring peace of the Alps, picturesque towns on the Adriatic Sea and spectacular caves. One of the can be admired in the Slovenian town of Predjama.This is one of the most fascinating places in this country. The mighty castle that rises by the rock is only a cover.Greetings from Fresno, California. Slovenia is a country that I will visit again soon...

[@hoedemakerbart]

Castles are always amazing. The middle and late middle ages was a tough time

[@WhisperWanderlust]

Thank you for introducing us to this place about which I knew nothing. I didn't even know about its existence, but I would definitely like you to visit it, especially since Slovenia is an incredibly green and beautiful country. I love the interesting stories about Erasmus and the footage with the armor inside the castle.

[@rokgoesaround]

Glad you enjoyed it! Slovenia has many hidden gems, well worth the visit.

[@HiralPandya]

What a wonderful place - I'm a sucker for a castle and a good legend! This video is done in such a lovely way to get the best of the story and also see lot's of parts of the castle to get a good idea of it. We've subscribed too :) We really hope to visit Slovenia soon!

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for subs. Slovenia is really lovely and very easy to travel around. BTW it is first EU country to declared end of Corona crisis ;)

Thank you. Glad you like it.

[@WinifredCain]

I want to travel yo Slovenia just to see the castle!!

[@rokgoesaround]

The setting is spectacular. The interior less so.

[@Wookie_Cookie_2014]

This may sound very morbid but I wonder how many people died trying to build this castle and it's walls. And then again when it was renovated. You know with where it is located, and the lack of the technologies that we have in modern days, that many very likely died creating this masterpiece. Just a thought. ~Peace!

[@rokgoesaround]

Good point 👍

And it’s sitting on a giant Mudfossils left 👁 the entire inside passageways is literally the inside of the Giant which made the build possible

[@lifeisapicnic2021]

Awesome my 8 year old typed that.. We are reading tripping Europe in summer and this castle is on the list to visit 😀

[@SpudEater]

Wish the US was old enough to have had castles to explore but we're a pretty young country in the grand scheme. It's a shame I had to cancel my trip to Europe due to COVID but I'm looking forward to taking the month long trip I originally intended on taking. The most romantic "castle" we have here stateside would have to be Boldt Castle in the thousand islands that was left unfinished back in 1904, it's not old but it certainly has an interesting history.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sooner or later resteictions will end and all the beautiful places will still be here.

[@1woolf]

Dont skip slovenia-you ll fall in love

[@LaughingblueSu]

Start building one! Visit Hurst castle in California

[@sparkleprizm199]

The castle is so beautiful ❤ I’d love to take a tour.

It is spectacular. But the interior is not as impressive as the exterior.

[@macscotsman51]

Fascinating. Thanks 👍👍👍

Thank you 🤗

[@newtagwhodis4535]

Very cool history and tour, i wonder what really happened and how much was written by the victors and not to be held. Thank you! I hope to visit one day. Cheers.

@@rokgoesaround you may consider talking to site historians, they usually know what the spoken and written history is. Respect is a universal language, as is music. Never stop looking for truth my friend. Thanks again and safe travels.

Hi Nilmoni Dey, nice to hear from you. I plan to do more East Europe videos next year. Thanks.

[@Svenywhere]

Nice great history video about the castle. It looks a bit as the castles we saw in Czech Republic, which isn't strange because they are neighbors. How expensive is it to visit the place? How would you get there and do you think it is worth it? Subbed btw ;)

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for sub. Actually this is in Slovenia, not neighbouring country of Czech Republic, that is Slovakia - can be confusing. But you are absolutely right, it is similar as at the time the castle was build it was part of the same empire as big part of Czech Republic - Austrian Empire.

[@blacksonnythug6760]

Very amazing news..

Jackie Chan's movie The Armour Of God was filmed here.

[@rokgoesaround]

Yes you are right. But that was ages ago as the movie is almost as old as the castle ;)

[@Departures1]

I"ve never heard of this, how do you get here from Ljubljiana. Would have liked to see more of the interior

[@rokgoesaround]

Usually you visit this castle, when you visit Postojna cave. They sell combined ticket for the cave and Predjama castle. The castle is about 9 kilometres from Postojna cave.

[@Departures1]

Good to know, when they took us to Postojna they didnt take us but that was 2006 so maybe tourism was still developing back then in the 'post war' era. Yes Slovenia was not part of the war but all of Yugo was lumped together in terms of perception.

[@ssrider7]

I was born 2 km away and live there 21 years. if you see the bench just infeont entry…many night abd many joints we smoke there.

In other lives? 🤨

[@kristijanmedved6066]

Looks like vampire lair, is it for sale?

[@rokgoesaround]

You are right, it looks like a perfect place for vampires as it also has a cave. It is owned by the state of Slovenia, so I guess it could be up for sale if the country goes bankrupt :)

[@clickingbuttons4980]

What came first the cave or the castle?

[@derekwhippl3212]

I’ve built plenty of castles like this in Minecraft

But yours won't be around for hundreds of years 😉

[@valentintapata2268]

Problem is, that toilet was built around 100 years after the siege.

[@rokgoesaround]

That is not a problem at all. Apparently the toilet part was added to the legend by Erasmus political opponents to make him look bad. Fake news as they would say in modern times ;)

[@valentintapata2268]

@@rokgoesaround Yes I know, it was Hapsburg propaganda. Also, Erasmus was helping the Turks with information, or so the story goes...

TRIED to visit this but there is ABSOLUTELY NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION going to this place. No buses at all! Either you drive a car or pay DEARLY for a taxi.:(

[@rokgoesaround]

There is a direct bus departing from Veliki Otok and arriving at Predjama. Services depart five times a week, and operate Monday to Friday. The journey takes approximately 13 min. Also there is a shuttle bus between Postojna Cave and the Predjama Castle during the summer for 1 EUR.
