Lipizza (Italian) or Lipica (Slovenian) is a village in Slovenia’s Karst region, and it is the origin of the Lipizzaner horses

Horse love is something different, especially for children and  riding a horse is a memorable experience.

The Lipica stud farm  offers a big opportunity  to see a special horse breed  and ride.Furthermore, the athmosphere is so impressive that you can’t  leave  the place  as I couldn’t few years ago.Even though I hadn’t  had any interests in horses before, the farm fascinated me with its magnificient foals as well as  the natural beauties .No doubt this special destination will intrigue  all the visitors.

The history of the stud farm in Lipica goes back to 1580s.In those years  the Spanısh horse was the ideal breed.And  those wonderful horses  were being  kept on the farm of Spain ,whose climate and soil  is similar to that of Slovenia. The stud  farm  therefore  was established  in that area  by Charles II,Archduke of Inner Austria. The first horses were brought from Spain. Since then  the finest ones  for haute-ecole riding have been bred .Besides, the place gives you a very warm welcome  through the scent  pervaded from  linden trees,  which have  been  planted  for  every   newborn  foal . Untill 1960  it  was not  opened to tourists .But today  Lipica is a real tourıstıc destination comprising a hotel and  a  leisure complex  in good  agreement with its  hıstorıcal settıngs.

Turanus  takes you to these places by following services:

Tolmin Gorges, where two rivers  Zadlascica and Tolminka  reach and flow into ,are  the most visited destinations  in Tolmin, an old town  in the Upper Soca Valley in Slovenia. And  it is also an Iron Age site in Europe.

The visitors find the gorges remarkably  impressive  and  it is clear that the confluence of  two rivers into a gorge is quite a  rare phenomenon.I strongly advice this attraction to those who love nature.

Obviously, people who come to this place  are lucky enough to  go on a perfect excursion with their  families. No doubt that the hiking to take about 3 hours will be a refreshing break from their routine and busy lives.The advised  trail  for the trip starts from Tolmin, along the Tolminka River ,which will lead you to the Austrian World War I Cemetery ,and past the Tolminka snack bar to the entrance of Triglav National Park. Along the way ,you will be fascinated by the green and turquoise water of the river.Another magnificent surprıse will welcome you when you reach the gorge, the Head of Bear .It is the name of the natural bridge ,large stone in a bear shape that the river carved the canyon and by the time this overgrown head came about.Sure It is the most attractive sight,at  least  this is the one that I was affected much. I also want to mention about  Devil’s bridge,which is  located above the Tolmin Gorge and  offers you a wonderful view and take you over the dangerous and narrow hollows.You can go on your trip over a footbridge across the Zadlascica River and finally through the village of Zabce and back to Tolmin. By the way, Dante’s Cave is another place to visit provıdıng that you  go in with a guide.
