The Municipality of Postojna (pronounced [pɔˈstoːi̯na] ; Slovene: Občina Postojna) is a municipality in the traditional region of Inner Carniola in southwestern Slovenia. The seat of the municipality is the town of Postojna.[2] The municipality was established in its current form on 3 October 1994, when the former larger Municipality of Postojna was subdivided into the municipalities of Pivka and Postojna.[3]
In addition to the municipal seat of Postojna, the municipality also includes the following settlements:
The entire municipality has a typical karst landscape. One of Slovenia's major tourist attractions, Postojna Cave, is located in the municipality. A second popular tourist attraction, located approximately 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) from Postojna, is Predjama Castle, a 16th-century castle built in the mouth of another karst cave.[4]
