Podzemlje Pece
Book now

While Kayaking through the underground the reflection of the emerald water will be the first among many to mesmerize you. Cave Kayaking is a very special adventure that can only be experienced in beneath the mines of Mežica.

What to expect on Cave kayaking tour?

The start of the cave kayaking experience…

Where else to start this unique Slovenian experience than from Lake Bled-the greatest Alpine treasure. While driving towards mines of Mežica we will cross some scenic parts of the Slovenian countryside. The best side of travelling in a small country is that you can see a lot in a short time. Lucky Slovenia is all about beautiful nature which will be our companion 2-hour drive to the home of Cave Kayaking. Podzemlje Pece will be our adventure destination and after a quick look around we will be ready to let it flow.

What will the activity look like…

Firstly, we will board a traditional mining train, taking you through a 3.5km tunnel towards Unionski Vpadnik slope mine. Transporting through the tunnel railway will be the first authentic experience of a miner’s life.

Just after 10 minutes of exciting train drive, we will arrive at the majestic world of the underground.

The second part before we leave ourselves to peaceful Cave Kayaking enjoyment will be the descent deeper into the mine.  We will descent another 95 m by foot and meanwhile, observe all the beautiful creations of the underground.  After the walk, you will receive al the necessary equipment for Cave Kayaking.

You will now enjoy the peace and silence whilst paddling your way down emerald waters. You will be able to fully witness the underground flooded mine while exploring the tunnels.

Submerged passages, stone monuments and mining sites dating back to the mid-16th century are a part of this magical adventure.

The third part of the Cave Kayaking will be a walk through an abandoned working site back to the train station. Meanwhile, you will really be able to experience the times of this working mine. And as we say there is no real experience if you don’t have a decent lunch. So after a hard day work, there will be a miners lunch waiting for you in one of the tunnels. Last but not least before it is time to go back to Lake Bled, you can throw back time with miners museums and sum up all the impressions of the day.
