In the Heart of Karstology
If you have been charmed by the karst, then you will surely want to know why Postojna is the
world’s centre of karstology – the scientific investigation of karst and karst phenomena. It all
began with a modest native who discovered the most beautiful parts of Postojna Cave and
the previously undiscovered life form inside of it, and it continued with the Karst Research
Institute and a permanent exhibition entitled the Karst Museum, located in the Notranjska
Museum in Postojna.
