There are several caves in the area. These include:

Å kocjan see below
Vilenica
å kocjan caves regional park
A few kilometers south of DivaÄa is the Å kocjan Caves Regional Park Slovenian: Regljski park Å kocjanske jame, +386 5 763-2840 fax: +386 5 763-2844, email: [email protected], (http://www.park-skocjansk...). To get there by car, take the DivaÄa exit from the highway and follow the signs.
The park's main attraction is its cave system that includes the highest cave hall in Europe, a massive gorge, waterfalls and a bridge over the gorge that looks like something out of The Lord of the Rings. The caves have beautiful stalactite and stalagmite structures. All told, there are eleven chambers that stretch for about six kilometers and the landscape was considered so unique that the caves are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Admission to the caves is by tour only, an easy guided walk that lasts about 90 minutes and takes you through two chambers: the Silent Cave and the Murmuring Cave. It's a good idea to bring decent shoes, wear a light coat it's chilly and drippy inside and be prepared to walk up and down hills. Tour costs â¬14/10/6 adult/seniors and students/children.
Also of interest is the river Reka, which flows straight into Å kocjan Caves and disappears into the cave tunnels, only to resurface some 20 km west near the Adriatic Sea. They are a further 20 minutes west from Postojna Caves.
Photography is technically forbidden, so if you want to take photos, stay toward the end of the tour where the guide can't see you, and carry a camera that you can sneak in stealthily. Ensure the flash is off to avoid getting caught.
