Let me start this blog with Interesting facts about Slovenia with caves. Slovenia is known for a lot of things, and one of them is its vastness of caves. There are a lot of caves beneath the ground in Slovenia, over 10,000 of them, and every year they find another hundred. The largest one is longer than 20,000 meters which is 67 thousand feet. Postojna cave, in particular, is also home to a tiny little creature called human fish. That animal can go up to ten years without any food, and its body is completely adapted to darkness and can live up to a hundred years. This is the first interesting fact about Slovenia.

The coast of Slovenia is also beautiful but is very, very, very small. It only expands up to 43 kilometers which is 26 miles, and the coast surrounds the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic Sea then goes into the Mediterranean Sea. And the Mediterranean Sea goes into the Atlantic Ocean. So when you’re at the seaside in Slovenia, you’re bathing in the sea, not in the ocean. That’s why it’s much calmer than in California.

Eighth Ljubljana

If you happen to be in Ljubljana and looking for a place to rest, I recommend the Hostel Celica, which served as a prison for hundreds of years. Hostel Celica is also a part of Metelkova, a cultural center of arts and crafts. It’s the center of so many different things. Still, if you want to experience how it is staying in prison, you should go to the Hostel Celica. Volunteer to spend the night behind bars and still have fun. The most authentic experience of the Cell is in the cell. Twenty former prison cells are waiting for you, converted into rooms with an artistic concept and a unique story.

From gray to color. The cells of the military prison have become modern rooms full of life, energy, and colors. Today’s original grilles on the doors and windows serve only to accentuate a really cool experience from custom to art. Simple prison cells have been transformed into unique art rooms.

For the most special hostel experience, choose prison luxury. Double and triple rooms, air conditioning, free bed linen and towels, shared bathroom, separately for women and men, and free Wi-Fi.
