帕瑞德姆斯基城堡

WooWooNext

This castle is not far from the popular Postojna Caves and is much cooler. The staff at the castle are very informative with excellent english. The castle itself is very cool, built inside the cliff face it utilizes the cave system behind/above/below it and is generally an interesting piece of Slovenian history. The coolest part however is the cave system below. If you can pay for the tour, it's worth it! I went it with a claustrophobic sister who is also afriad of heights (the cave system is huge!) and she thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The caves are home to very small & very cute bats which you can see as you wander through. Due to the low number of tourists that visit this place (I went in June 2014) I would recomend this to anyone in the area.

Absolutely unique castle. Definitally a must in Slovenia! Outside and inside is trully amazing. I appreciated czech audio guide. Place was not crowded by tourists as other attarctions so we could enjoy everything.

That castle is truly an amazing creation and hard to imagine, until you see it for yourself. The interior is quite impresive, but the exterior is the one that drops your jaw. There is a very interesting anecdote about the knight Erazem, who owned the castle. I'm sure it will amuse you, when you hear it.

You will never see anything like this again. An entire castle built into a cave by a 'robber baron' who held up here for over a year whilst under siege. He had a secret access via a steep staircase cut deep within the cave to the mountaintop which allowed him to fetch supplies from the little village close by. An amazing sight and definitely not to be missed

Picturesque from the outside and full of interesting displays/museum artifacts on the inside, a worthwhile place to visit. Can also go into the cave itself, but was not recommended for younger children. To save money, purchase a combined ticket with Poston Czve, which is 10 minutes down the road.

Very interesting castle but extremely cold. Would recommend giving it a miss in very heavy snow as difficult to get out

I have visited several times to take in the free view but on my last visit I paid the entrance fee to see the inside. The inside did not measure up the the free view on the outside. I would not make time to go inside but if you have time to burn or want to make a donation get a ticket to poke around inside.

After seeing Postojna cave we drove to this near by unique castle. Well preserved, gives a visitor great feel and experience.In the last room there was a big surprise that left me with my mouth open. It was the prettiest Christmas nativity scene with the whole little village and animals and much more. It was so so precious. Even had a little water mill! It was a great and memorable trip to this unique place. The ticket was around 20 some euros.Toilets also available before the entrance to the castle.U think its a must to see!

We visited the castle after visiting the Postojna Caves and by this time we were quite tired, but we see all of the levels in this castle and the cave behind. There is breathtaking view from the top of the castle.

I abaolutly loved castle.. just walking up to brings u back a few centuries.. And once u enter it u can feel the history... I took my time n looked in every nik n crany..The price of this i think was 30 euro.. but the postojama caves was part of the package.. mind u there is another thing u can add for a lil bit more euro.. is u get to go underneath the castle to explore some more caves.. would have done that but was on a time crunch.. If u like castle.. and anything medievil.. this is for u..

I've been to many castles of Europe, from Neuschwanstein Castle and Burg Eltz in Germany to Hohensalzburg Castle in Salzburg and Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland. Predjama is one of the top 5 in my book, the shear impressive site of a impressive and remarkably preserved castle built into a rock face with a small stream emptying water in the Postojna cave system can bring many "ahhhs".Not sure why people have petty complaints though, the bathroom was free when I visited. Not sure if the cave system and castle is overly priced as some say, if you're visiting a prosperous country such as Slovenia with many incredible sites then don't expect anything to be cheap. Go to Croatia or Bosnia if you're on a tight budget which are great visits themselves. Or just go visit Switzerland where a Big Mac burger meal cost around $15 then you can complain about prices being high lol Slovenians are very friendly and kind to English speakers. I've been to around 25 countries of Europe and Slovenia with it's incredible sites such as this castle, Postojna cave and the small village of Piran make this one memorable trip.

Get the Audio guide... no really get it get it get it. It's only 2 euros, you can share it with another 1 or 2 people, the volume is good. Not much to read so you need it and it adds so much to the castle.Be aware it's 9km from the caves and no organised transport outside July and August. If you have a car, no problem.Anyway, the castle is unique, well intact and with the audio guide gives you great insight into life back in the day to a spectacular site (including the surrounding area).If you're doing the caves, add this on with a joint purchase ticket, well worth it, very beautiful.Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Really worth a visit. This is such an unusual and pretty castle. it's hardly changed since 1500s... The audio tour is also very good - it's clear, the English is excellent, its easy to follow and the content is very good. I really enjoyed my visit and would recommend it to others.

... again, I think the whole organisation takes greedy to a whole new level.Like Postojna, it is a beautiful place. But even with the package (Caves+Castle) you would still have to pay some extra to get an audio guide.As our guide on the bus said: visiting only is very different from visiting and listening to it´s history.Slovenia is definitely a great country, probably on my top 5, but I do think they are over charging for their attractions.I think it´s not nice when the place is more interested on milking money from people than anything else. It´s obviously noticeable. I mean, c´mon, one euro for you to use the toilet? What a joke!Luckily for me I could visit Skocjan Caves and forget about the bad experience with Postojna and Predjama.

Please visit this beautiful castle because it's worth! The interiors are poor but the view from outsider and from inside are gorgeous!Not far from Postojna downtown!
