Leave the car a short distance and walk for a little while (there is also a trick for not paying for parking …look around) and on the right side you can find a small but steep valley dominated by Predjamski grad.

Remembering not to face visit with a pram (which I did, however, I left it in the entrance), please remember to wear comfortable shoes and have a good will, since there are many steps to climb. If you prefer you can also go down to visit the caves which extend below the building and are open to the public from May to September.
