Slovenian Impressions. Mysterious Karst.
28Stone landscapes exist all over the world, but the Karst is unique. Postojna Cave is the largest and the most visited karst cave in Europe. A special train has been carrying tourists since 1818. On the arch in front of the high rock wall, behind which several levels of karst tunnels hide, is Predjama Castle.
The Karst is the region in south-western Slovenia, where vineyards grow on limestone soil and give birth to teran wine. This is where the Lipizzaner horses from the oldest stud farm graze. Not far away are the Škocjan Caves that hide the largest underwater canyon in Europe andare on the UNESCO world heritage list.
Cerknica Lake, the largest Slovenian lake, covers 26km2. However, it can be seen only during one part of the year, when underground water fills the green karst field. Go deeper, discover misteries of the Slovenian Karst.
