Taking a walk on the stud farm estate is like traveling 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 center of the unique Karst landscape which today represents one of the most beautiful natural and cultural monuments in Slovenia. On your trip, 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.

Awesome cave experience and friendly Lipizzaner horses

5.00The cave was absolutely amazing. I wouldn't miss it if you are going to Slovenia. A river rushes through a cavern with a ceiling as high as a stadium in some places. There's a lot of steps so you need to be able to walk up and down. Take a flashlight. Some areas are a bit dark and having a light lets you see more. Skip the food at the cave except for the beer and ice cream. The burgers were made of some inedible mystery meat. If you love horses you have to go to the Lipizzaner stud farm. The horses are beautiful, well cared for, and incredibly friendly. We stopped at the fence to one of the pastures and three of them, that were way out in the pasture, walked over for some love. Our tour did not include a show, so you would need to book a longer one if you want to see a performance.
Great combination tour

5.00The 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

4.00The 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.
Amazing
