✨ 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.

    3. Predjama Castle

      The final stop on our way back is the dramatic Predjama Castle, perched high on a cliffside and partially built into a gaping cave.

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.

    Great Day at Lipica & Skocjan Caves

    Our tour to Lipica and Škocjan Caves was absolutely great. It was perfectly balanced - watching the Lipizzaner horses in their native environment and exploring the dramatic underground world of the caves. The stories, and local touches made the experience so much better , and we went at a comfortable pace for our family with young children. We returned to Ljubljana with a special feeling for Slovenia, great memories, and plenty of photos. Highly recommended for anyone based at Ljubljana

    Great combination!

    Wonderful day, great guide, everything delivered as promised. Just be prepared that there are a lot of stairs - but it’s worth the climb.

    What should I bring or wear?

    How many days do you need in Ljubljana?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
