While in Slovenia, you definitely need to visit the Karst region! Wheelchair users can enjoy the beauties of Škocjan Caves and uniqueness of Lipizzaner horses, just as anybody else!
Our first stop will be the Škocjan Caves, the only natural beauty in Slovenia that is listed on the UNESCO world heritage list. As the cave is protected it’s unfortunately not possible to visit it on a wheelchair. Instead of that we can take part in a virtual 4-D tour of the cave, which is not far away from the real walk (believe us, we got scared of the high walls and deep falls a couple of times…).
Kras (Karst) to Slovenians mean something like Provence to the French – small hills rising up from the flat (land) terrain that are covered with fields and vineyards. One of the world´s most famous stud farms is based here and it is wheelchair friendly. It is called Lipica, where the white Lipizzaner horses have been born and bred since the 16th century. The horses were used by the royal Habsburg monarch for centuries. After a late lunch with some local delicacies we´ll take the road back to our hotel.
