I can't believe I live 20 km from castle, I visited it like 1000 times in my life, and I watch your video thinking "what a beauty" this piece of rock. Thank you! Love from Slovenia.
Slovenia is a beautiful country, tempting with fairy - tale views, soaring peace of the Alps, picturesque towns on the Adriatic Sea and spectacular caves. One of the can be admired in the Slovenian town of Predjama.This is one of the most fascinating places in this country. The mighty castle that rises by the rock is only a cover.Greetings from Fresno, California. Slovenia is a country that I will visit again soon...
Loved listening to the historical and mysterious stories of the castle. Really cool video. I like how you explain stuff in a very simple and understandable way. :)
Here after reading a recent news article on this castle. Just want to say that I enjoyed your video very much and it gave me all the information I was interested in. Great job! 👍 thank you!
Thank you for introducing us to this place about which I knew nothing. I didn't even know about its existence, but I would definitely like you to visit it, especially since Slovenia is an incredibly green and beautiful country. I love the interesting stories about Erasmus and the footage with the armor inside the castle.
What a wonderful place - I'm a sucker for a castle and a good legend! This video is done in such a lovely way to get the best of the story and also see lot's of parts of the castle to get a good idea of it. We've subscribed too :) We really hope to visit Slovenia soon!
I've been trying to figure out what Castle's inspired Stormviel Castle from Elden Ring. I think this one might have been the main drawing inspiration. Absolutely amazing.
Wish the US was old enough to have had castles to explore but we're a pretty young country in the grand scheme. It's a shame I had to cancel my trip to Europe due to COVID but I'm looking forward to taking the month long trip I originally intended on taking. The most romantic "castle" we have here stateside would have to be Boldt Castle in the thousand islands that was left unfinished back in 1904, it's not old but it certainly has an interesting history.
This may sound very morbid but I wonder how many people died trying to build this castle and it's walls. And then again when it was renovated. You know with where it is located, and the lack of the technologies that we have in modern days, that many very likely died creating this masterpiece. Just a thought. ~Peace!
Nice great history video about the castle. It looks a bit as the castles we saw in Czech Republic, which isn't strange because they are neighbors. How expensive is it to visit the place? How would you get there and do you think it is worth it? Subbed btw ;)
Thanks for sub. Actually this is in Slovenia, not neighbouring country of Czech Republic, that is Slovakia - can be confusing. But you are absolutely right, it is similar as at the time the castle was build it was part of the same empire as big part of Czech Republic - Austrian Empire.
Very cool history and tour, i wonder what really happened and how much was written by the victors and not to be held. Thank you! I hope to visit one day. Cheers.
@@rokgoesaround you may consider talking to site historians, they usually know what the spoken and written history is. Respect is a universal language, as is music. Never stop looking for truth my friend. Thanks again and safe travels.
Usually you visit this castle, when you visit Postojna cave. They sell combined ticket for the cave and Predjama castle. The castle is about 9 kilometres from Postojna cave.
Good to know, when they took us to Postojna they didnt take us but that was 2006 so maybe tourism was still developing back then in the 'post war' era. Yes Slovenia was not part of the war but all of Yugo was lumped together in terms of perception.
You are right, it looks like a perfect place for vampires as it also has a cave. It is owned by the state of Slovenia, so I guess it could be up for sale if the country goes bankrupt :)
That is not a problem at all. Apparently the toilet part was added to the legend by Erasmus political opponents to make him look bad. Fake news as they would say in modern times ;)
TRIED to visit this but there is ABSOLUTELY NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION going to this place. No buses at all! Either you drive a car or pay DEARLY for a taxi.:(
There is a direct bus departing from Veliki Otok and arriving at Predjama. Services depart five times a week, and operate Monday to Friday. The journey takes approximately 13 min. Also there is a shuttle bus between Postojna Cave and the Predjama Castle during the summer for 1 EUR.
Here Is My POSTOJNA CAVE Video: th-cam.com/video/RL2oGswnxOo/w-d-xo.html

We are reading tripping Europe in summer and this castle is on the list to visit 😀
Fascinating, loved this video!
Thanks 🤗
I loved this castle and the food in the rustic restaurant below was amazing also.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Adding this to the list of MUST visit many times with the family!
Also add Postojna Cave next to it. Buy a combined ticket Cave & Castle.
Was there few years ago, swarming with tourist. Strongly highly recommended.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Wow! Beautiful setting! Something about the girl in me just loves castles! Really cool that it’s built into the mountainside!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This castle and the story behind it is really fascinating. I recommend visiting it!
Definitely!
Nice and Informative Video
Thank you. Glad you like it.
I want to travel yo Slovenia just to see the castle!!
The setting is spectacular. The interior less so.
I was lucky enough to visit this fortress :)
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Fascinating. Thanks 👍👍👍
Thank you 🤗
Nice Playlist Bro. Watched all. Love it.
Much appreciated!
I've been trying to figure out what Castle's inspired Stormviel Castle from Elden Ring. I think this one might have been the main drawing inspiration. Absolutely amazing.
I visited yesterday, what a stunning place!
Wow that is so cool 🤗
The castle is so beautiful ❤ I’d love to take a tour.
It is spectacular. But the interior is not as impressive as the exterior.
The lesson of this story: you better be without a servant when you go to the toilet. So I'm safe. Ha Ha
Good one, hahaha :)

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sooner or later resteictions will end and all the beautiful places will still be here.
Dont skip slovenia-you ll fall in love
Start building one!
Visit Hurst castle in California
Nice video!
Thanks!
Memories 2016..👍👌
I’ve just bought the recently-released 88 Films Limited-Edition UK Blu-Ray of _Armour of God_ (1986) and part of it was shot here. :)
🤗
Good post, may check that out now

Good point 👍
This is great and I wish could go
Don't worry. This places will wait for you. Use this time to plan your trips now.
Very amazing news..
Hi! I am Nilmoni Dey from India. Love to watch your video. Please give me details about East Europe.
Hi Nilmoni Dey, nice to hear from you. I plan to do more East Europe videos next year. Thanks.

As a slovene l😅vina not far away, i loved this video

Beautiful, indeed.
Thanks 🤗
Love the story
Thank you :)
And it’s sitting on a giant Mudfossils left 👁 the entire inside passageways is literally the inside of the Giant which made the build possible
I"ve never heard of this, how do you get here from Ljubljiana. Would have liked to see more of the interior
Usually you visit this castle, when you visit Postojna cave. They sell combined ticket for the cave and Predjama castle. The castle is about 9 kilometres from Postojna cave.

Jackie Chan's movie The Armour Of God was filmed here.
Yes you are right. But that was ages ago as the movie is almost as old as the castle ;)
Video from the inside Castle while you’re speaking would be better, so we would see more
Thanks for constructive comment.
Oh believe me it is very romantic. I was the lady of the house three times. In other lives I dreamed about it
In other lives? 🤨
I was born 2 km away and live there 21 years.
if you see the bench just infeont entry…many night abd many joints we smoke there.
That is cool 🤗 Thanks for sharing this.
cool
Thanks. It is.
Killed by a canon ball while on the crapper. What a way to go 4:56
Indeed 🤣
Just a story told by the winners.
Looks like vampire lair, is it for sale?
You are right, it looks like a perfect place for vampires as it also has a cave. It is owned by the state of Slovenia, so I guess it could be up for sale if the country goes bankrupt :)
What came first the cave or the castle?
LOL
I’ve built plenty of castles like this in Minecraft
But yours won't be around for hundreds of years 😉
Problem is, that toilet was built around 100 years after the siege.
That is not a problem at all. Apparently the toilet part was added to the legend by Erasmus political opponents to make him look bad. Fake news as they would say in modern times ;)
@@rokgoesaround Yes I know, it was Hapsburg propaganda. Also, Erasmus was helping the Turks with information, or so the story goes...
Died on the can just like Elvis!
It's not a secret passageway if it has a walkway leading to it 😂
I want to dig a hole and say it was from 1AD
Less talking more Castle next time please. 😅
✌️🇸🇮

Can you give more info on bus from veliki otok as i could not find any details on it on the internet
