In the southwestern part of Slovenia stretches a region called the Karst. It is a land of rare beauty, with hidden underground waters and caves, special climate and scarce vegetation. And right there, in the picturesque village of Lipica, for more than 400 years, beautiful white horses called Lipizzaners have been bred. A local guide will take visitors on a guided tour through the stables, pointing out the different stages of breeding and training these noble animals. A special feature is a performance of star Lipizzaner studs showing the excellence of what they have learnt in their training.
Another curiosity of the Karst is the caves, and we will take you to the biggest and most world-renowned Slovenian cave of Postojna. The sightseeing tour includes a ride by electric train, taking visitors into the world of stalactites and other cave formations. You will be shown a mysterious and rare cave amphibian Proteus Anguinus, or ‘human fish’.
