Mythical limestone plateau between Ljubljana and the Adriatic coast. The Slovenian Karst is the birthplace of speleology worldwide — the word 'karst' originates here. A land of pršut (cured ham), Teran (red wine), spectacular caves and stone villages. Lipica, the cradle of Lipizzan horses, and the troglodyte Predjama castle are among its treasures.
