DISCOVERING THE UNKNOWN Extended WW2&UNDERGROUND tour

DISCOVERING THE UNKNOWN Extended WW2&UNDERGROUND tour

EXTENDED TOUR This tour takes you into the turbulent past of Rijeka, and not just anywhere but exactly to the locations where that past took place. The tour of historical sites is also a trip to nature, where you can enjoy stunning views of the city. The focal point of the tour is a series of under- and above-ground fortresses that were built in the 30s of the 20th century as the defence of the then borders. With their construction and location, the fortresses are a masterpiece of military engineering of their era. At the same time, the route leading to them is equally interesting and historically important. We start and end it in the city centre, drive along the Louisiana and Petroleum roads, stop at historically important locations such as Banska vrata and bridge Pašac, and enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the city. The crown of the tour is a walk through the 1000 m long underground fortress Katarina B and the story of the Battle of Rijeka, the battle for the liberation of Rijeka in World War II. During the walk along an easy hiking trail, we will also visit the above-ground parts of several other fortresses and enjoy the view of the Rječina river canyon and Rijeka’s old mills, which you can get to know better on our tour Cycling Around. The tour ends in the entrance hall of the unfinished underground fortress San Giovanni with socializing, a glass of wine and screening of a short film about the restoration of Rijeka after the Second World War. If you want to get to know Rijeka from all its sides, this is a right tour for you.

TUNNEL ABSEILING PLUS tour the underground

TUNNEL ABSEILING PLUS tour the underground

In this tour we visit the 550-meter-long underground World War II fortress and offer you the opportunity to try abseiling – descending a rock face with a rope. The fortress remained unfinished and is therefore a unique combination of architecture created by both man and nature. And that is not all. Until a few years ago, this building was forgotten and hidden. It was only recently discovered, put to rights and equipped for visitors. Depending on the difficulty level of the abseiling you want to try and you feel comfortable with, we offer this tour in 2 versions: Abseil and Abseil Plus Abseil Included is a tour of the underground fortress San Giovanni and abseiling in one and/or two ways with variations in difficulty. The easier variant involves a walking descent down a vertical rock. After it, the descent can be repeated in a slightly more difficult variant - with a vertical jump. Both methods are suitable for beginners without previous experience, and are executed with help and backup of our instructors. ABSEIL PLUS This tour is an extended version of the previous one and includes another abseil. In addition to the first two descents, there is also a descent on the cascading rock inside the fortress. Since that rock is a bit uneven and slippery, the descent is somewhat more demanding. Participants can prepare for this descent by executing the first abseils with the backup of an instructor. In this way, the feeling for the technique and sense of security are gradually acquired. On this tour, you can also try a simultaneous abseil in pairs. IMPORTANT: for this tour shoes with non-slip soles are mandatory! Regardless of which abseil level you want to try, please note again that no previous experience is required for any of them, that each is executed with professional support and guidance of our experienced licenced instructors, and that each participant can decide on the spot which descent they want to execute based on their own level of comfort. We start both tours with an introduction to the abseiling technique and familiarizing ourselves with the equipment. This is followed by an exercise on a horizontal surface and a descent demonstration. After equipping ourselves, we descend the vertical natural rock and enter the high underground rooms built in concrete. We begin our walk through the fort accompanied by special effects. Since the facility was built on two levels, there is another abseil for the participants of the Abseil Plus tour. At the end of the tour, we have prepared a special audio-visual surprise that will take us back in time. And for the bravest, there is another challenge – turning off the head torches and finding the way out in pitch darkness. At the exit we’re transported back to the starting point in a comfortable air-conditioned van. We end the tours socializing and chatting with a glass of wine.

Rijeka: Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle

Rijeka: Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle

Your tour will begin with Postojna Cave, one of the best-known caves in the world. It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world’s largest karst monuments. This is the only place in the world where the underground landscape can be traversed on an electric train and where you can meet this underground kingdom’s most famous inhabitant, the proteus (olm), up close. A fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries and halls, astonishing diversity of karst features as well as easy access are certainly the main reasons for the popularity of the cave and a large number of visitors. From here the tour extends to the Predjama Castle which reigns over the surrounding area, not far from the Postojna Cave, in the idyllic village of Predjama. This picturesque, magnificent, defiant, mysterious and impregnable castle has been perched in the middle of a vertical 123-meter high cliff for more than 800 years. Its romantic appeal is further emphasized by the idyllic Lokva River, which disappears into the underground world deep below the castle. As the only preserved cave castle in Europe, the Predjama Castle offers a unique insight into the building techniques and resourcefulness of people in the Middle Ages, who were looking for and found a safe harbor for themselves right at the entrance of the cave. During a siege that took place in the 15th century, the castle provided a refuge for its best known and most notorious owner, Erazem of Predjama. The legend of the courageous robber baron Erazem, who remained undefeated until one of his servants betrayed him, is still in people’s minds, inspiring and alluring as ever. It was this safe abode of his which helped the brave knight resist the besiegers without much difficulty for more than a year.
