Overview

✨ White horses, an underground canyon and a castle built into a cliff, all in one private day from Ljubljana. ✨

Start at Lipica, home of the Lipizzaner horses since 1580. Visit the stables, walk among the white horses and, in season, watch them train or perform. Add a carriage ride or a relaxed lunch on the estate.

Then descend into the Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the Reka river rushes through one of the largest underground canyons on earth. The guided walk takes about two hours, with plenty of steps, and crosses a bridge 45 metres above the river. Bring a jacket: it stays around 12°C down there all year.

End at Predjama Castle, the world’s largest cave castle, wedged into the mouth of a cave halfway up a sheer cliff. Hear how the rebel knight Erazem held out here through a year-long siege, and the secret that kept him going.

This is a private tour, so the pace and the stops are yours to choose. Message us after booking and we’ll tailor the day to you.

What to expect

  1. 3h · Admission ticket not included
    The first stop of your private tour is the historic Lipica Stud Farm, the birthplace of the world-famous Lipizzaner horses - it offers a unique glimpse into over 400 years of equestrian tradition. You will be able to stroll through the elegant tree-lined avenues, visit the stables, and learn about the rich heritage of these graceful white horses. Depending on the day of thw week, you may also witness a captivating performance by the Lipizzaners, showcasing their classical dressage skills.

    You’ll also have enough time here to enjoy a relaxing horse carriage ride, play a round of mini golf, or savor a leisurely lunch surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the estate.
  2. Skocjanske Jame
    2h 30m · Admission ticket included
    The second stop of the private tour takes you to the awe-inspiring Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Slovenia’s most remarkable natural wonders.

    As you descend into this vast underground world, you’ll be amazed by the dramatic chambers, towering stalactites, and the thundering Reka River that carves its way through the canyon deep below.

    ‍♀️A guided walk through the caves reveals both geological marvels and the fascinating history of human presence in the area, dating back thousands of years.
  3. Predjama Castle
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    The final stop on our way back is the dramatic Predjama Castle, perched high on a cliffside and partially built into a gaping cave. While this visit will focus on the exterior, the castle’s striking position and fairy-tale appearance make it one of Slovenia’s most photographed landmarks. We will share the fascinating story of Erazem of Predjama, the rebellious knight who once used the cave system behind the castle to withstand a siege for over a year. With time to admire the views, take stunning photos, and soak in the atmosphere of this medieval marvel, it’s the perfect way to end your day of discovery before returning to Ljubljana.
