- Lipica - The Lipica Stud Farm, one of the oldest in the world, is the birthplace of the Lipizzan horse. Nestled in a unique natural setting, surrounded by enchanting meadows and shaded by oak and chestnut trees, visitors will be captivated by the stunning white horses. A stroll through the stud farm estate is like stepping back in time. The historic manor house and the elegance of the Lipizzan horse evoke an era when horse-drawn carriages were the height of transportation. For over 400 years, the tradition of breeding these magnificent white horses has been maintained in the heart of the distinctive Karst landscape, now recognized as one of Slovenia’s most beautiful natural and cultural landmarks. During the visit, guests can explore the world of the Lipizzan horse, tour the stables, and visit the Lipikum Museum, which is dedicated to the various facets of the stud and the Lipizzan breed.
- Park Skocjanske jame - The Škocjan Caves in Slovenia, along with the underground river Reka, form the most significant natural wonder of the Karst region and one of the largest underground canyons globally. Recognized for its outstanding importance, the Škocjan Caves were added to UNESCO’s list of natural and cultural world heritage sites in 1986. The vibrant underground realm is adorned with massive stalactites, rushing water, and stunning lakes. Visitors can marvel at the world’s largest underground canyon and cross a bridge situated 40 meters above the subterranean river. The breathtaking panoramic view at the cave’s exit is sure to leave a lasting impression. Finally, guests can explore the Škocjan Caves Regional Park, an open-air museum renowned for its ethnological, karstological, geological, and archaeological significance, as well as its natural and cultural heritage. Here, visitors can enjoy a walk through the park and experience the pristine nature.

Great combination tour - The tour was great. Loved seeing the horses, especially watching them practice. The caves were beautiful but included a lot of walking with lots of steps. Matt, our guide was terrific. He took care of us the whole time.

Quick tour - The locations we visited were amazing. The tour guide was also very nice.
He were rushed from both locations that was annoying. We ended the tour 2 hours earlier then the projected time so we clearly had more time to spend at each location.
With that said, if you don’t have a car this is a great way to see the farm and cave.
Also the cave site has many stairs and steep incline/declines with wet surfaces.
