Trail riding across the Lipica estate and the nearby Karst is a nice way to relax, and an unforgettable experience.
Our guides take experienced riders on Karst horses (Lipizzan horses) at a leisurely pace across parts of the Lipica estate and the Karst which visitors to Lipica don’t usually get to see.
Riders go along Lipica’s most beautiful avenues and past pastures where only Lipizzan horses have been grazing for centuries, as well as through hidden forested areas of the Karst Living Museum, a colourful karst landscape that reveals various karst features and phenomena every step of the way.
