Lipica,
situated behind the Slovene coast in the Karst
region, in May enjoys a warm, pleasant climate.
Here, in 1580 the stud farm was established, where
the first noble Lipizzaner horse was bread. Since
then the famous Lipica horses have been bread for
centuries and attracted the visitors from all over
the world. Today it is a popular tourist center with
a riding school, hotels, a swimming pool, a golf
course, and a casino. A guide will take the
meeting participants on a tour
through the stables pointing out different methods
of stages of breeding and training of these noble
animals. In the cellars of the stone houses in
nearby villages excellent wines are poured and sold,
and in the attics delicious “prsut” is cured in the
bora wind. In the Karst region are located
some beautiful caves: Postojna
Cave with more than twenty-six million visitors so
far and nearby Škocjan Caves (one of UNESCO's
natural and cultural world heritage site), which
boast with the 1400-meter long and 150-meter deep
underground canyon of the Reka River. In both caves
the visitors can admire the only cave vertebrate
animal in Europe and also the largest known living
cave animal in the world, the Proteus anguinus
or so called "human fish". A visit to
Karst
caves will be organized.
