We continue on a road without traffic until we reach the town of Razdrto where we eat. Excellent place to stop along the way and in which we talked with a family of German cyclists. After this we caught a few kilometers of road and then we deviated by a magnificent asphalt track and so we travel many kilometers down a river side until we again go to a secondary road that will take us to the town of Stanjel.
In this locality there are no services although in the Hotel they gave us the option of calling a Slovenian "Telepizza" and they brought it to us. The Hotel has a good breakfast, wine and beer for dinner and with laundry service.

Cuevas de Postjona
The Postoina Cave is located very close to the Slovenian city of Postojna. It is a set of 20 kilometers of tunnels and galleries. It is the largest cave in the Carso region (Kras in Slovenian and Karst in German, from which derives the name Karstic relief), as well as being the most visited cave in Europe. Visitors who come to the cave today can learn details about the origin and history of caves, tunnels and galleries and can admire their stalactites and stalagmites, some of which have ended up joining pillars, folded and bent like curtains and other interesting shapes. In 2013, Slovenia issued a 2 Euro commemorative coin celebrating the 800th Anniversary of its discovery.

Apartmaji in sobe Marija Jera Štanjel
Good family treatment. They have place where to lodge bikes although as it was raining and the bicycles came full of mud we left them in the street, in a small garage. Although they do not do dinners they call you a Slovenian "Telepizza" more than correct. The homemade and fantastic breakfast. They also sell wine or beer for dinner (water and soft drinks, of course)
Stanjel
Due to its good traffic-geographic and strategic position, Štanjel was important from the youthful Iron Age until today. The population has enjoyed the greatest flowering in the Romanesque era when it extended through the grove against the peak of Turn. The hill was fortified again in the 11th century - 12th century. - Even today you can see the ruins of the tower on the peak of the Turn hill. There are very many Gothic elements that show that the locality had already reached the amplitude of today. The remains of the castle date back to the Middle Ages but only at the end of the 17th century did the Cobenzli counts give them the definitive image. Because of the Turkish invasions Štanjel was protected by a wall at the end of the 15th century.
