Formed over millions of years, the underground world of Postojna Cave is one of Slovenia’s most breathtaking sights, and its rich tradition of tourism dates back around 200 years. The Living Nativity Scenes set along the entire five-kilometre tourist route transforms Postojna Cave into a magical Christmas venue offering one of the most beautiful and unique Christmas experiences in the world.
Christmas is a time when people come together for celebrations. For years, Postojna Cave has been the stage of one of Slovenia’s biggest festive events featuring a live nativity scene and Christmas market. Every year, these festivities transform Postojna Cave into a magical Christmas venue.
For a truly interactive experience, 16 scenes accompanied by musical performances will be staged at different stops along Postojna Cave’s 5kilometre route, recreating the entire Nativity story. The Christmas spectacle featuring over 100 local performers will be on show several times a day from 25 to 30 December. Each year, three well-known guest singers perform in the live nativity scene, creating one of the biggest Christmas shows in Europe.
The magic experience is one of the secrets of the unique subterranean world in Postojna Cave. The performances start with a train ride, followed by a guided walk through the cave’s fairytale world. The experience takes 90 minutes.
