Spend a day in Lipica, where you will experience the world of white horses, and visit the magnificent Škocjan Caves which are on UNESCO’s list of natural and cultural world heritage sites.
The Lipica Stud Farm is one of the oldest stud farms in the world and it represents the origin of the Lipizzan horse. In a unique natural environment, in the middle of fairy meadows and in the shade of oak and chestnut trees, you will find beautiful white horses which will certainly enchant you. Taking a walk on the Stud Farm estate is like travelling through history. The old manor house and the gracefulness of the Lipizzan horse will take you to the time when horse carriages were the most prominent way of transport. For more than 400 years the tradition of breeding these white horses has been preserved in the centre of the unique Karst landscape which today represents one of the most beautiful natural and cultural monuments in Slovenia. On our trip, we will experience the world of the Lipizzan horse, walk through the stable and visit the Lipikum Museum dedicated to various aspects of the stud and the Lipizzan breed.
On certain dates there are special Lipizzaner shows available at Lipica Stud Farm (Official Training of the Lipica Classical Riding School, A Tale of Lipica Show etc.) which you can attend (extra fee applies).
