The Divača Cave lies near The Divača-Lokev Road and is approximately one kilometer distant from Divača. It has been discovered in 1884 by the local Gregor Žiberna. Three years later, the cave has been arranged for tourist visits. A visit to the cave is very interesting as it, together with surrounding collapse valleys And shafts, constitutes a part of once active cave system formed by the Reka river, which sinks today in the famous Škocjan caves. Almost entire cave is richly decorated with calcite formations that have developed through its geological history. The cave shelters numerous species of cave animals and other forms of life. In the past, the cave the cave has been visited by many prominent personalities. Especially worth mentioning are Rudolf of Hapsburg, Crown prince of Austria, whose name the cave bore for some time, and the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. The walkway in the cave is well-maintained and illuminated and thus suitable for visitors of all ages. It is approximately 500m long. The temperature in the cave is 8°c/47°f. Access to the cave: One just has to follow the sings by the Divača-Lokev road. The cave is also a suitable destination for those who come to Divača by a train. One has to walk from the railway station on the Risnik Education Trail that leads thorough karst wood and past large collapse valleys. This alternative is a wonderful opportunity for a half day trip.

Definitely worth a visit. We planned to visit here and Postojna Cave but our time got scrunched and we had to make a choice. We could only do one. While I can't compare, I'm definitely glad we chose here. It's on UNESCO's list and thus there are no photos allowed inside. I think with touring inside as a group (required), it was so nice that everyone was observing vs clicking photos and/or trying to take selfies. As you do have to go as a group with the guide, unless you're right next to the guide you'll not hear any little point-outs along the way. However, there are stops within the tour where the guide gives short talks about the cave, features, history, etc. I felt it was enough, unless you're a speleologist or looking to become one. It really is an incredible work of nature and so glad its being protected. Do bring a jacket or layer your clothes for warmth as it can be a tad chilly inside. I didn't find that there was any water dripping from the ceiling so don't think it necessarily needs to be waterproof.
