Lipica
The location is well-known for its stud farm, which was established in 1580 by the archduke of Karl, son of Emperor Ferdinand I.
Quite famous is the horse breed called the Lipizza horse, which was obtained by cross-breeding tenacious and quick Karst horses with Andalusian, Czech, Neapolitan and Arab stallions. The result of the crossbreeding are magnificent white riding horses, which are today stars of the Vienna based "Spanish riding school".
After a long pause because of two world wars the activity of the stud farm considerably improved. This is the place of the famous riding school, while tourists can watch various dressage programs.
FOR COMFORT
The Maestoso*** and Klub*** hotels have a total of 270 beds and offer their guests all the comfort and a pleasant atmosphere in beautiful Karst surroundings. On days when harsh northeasterly winds prevent you from enjoying in outdoor activities, you are welcome to indulge in selected Karst delicacies served in hotel restaurants. The hotels have special entertainment programmes and nice lounges where you can relax. Special rooms for business meetings are also available.
FOR RELAXATION AND PLEASURE
The green oasis in the middle of Karst with elegant white Lipizzaner horses is a real paradise for those who admire nature and like to explore local curiosities. A herd of nearly 300 Lipizzaners is really something to feast your eyes on. The classical school of riding and important international dressage tournaments will no doubt capture your attention. Carriage rides in the beautiful countryside are a welcome alternative to usual sightseeing tours. While some admire famous white horses the other enjoy playing golf in Lipica
