Our third destination in Slowenia was the craddle of all Lipizzan horses in the world: Founded in 1580, the Stud Farm of Lipica is breeding and selecting pure horses for more than four centuries. Today, around 350 of those white beauties live in the shade of picturesque old linden trees and white fences and are visited by horse freaks (mainly very young females...) from all over the planet.

So this Whitsun break we travelled to a European country, which hoisted four different banners within the last 100 years (Hungarian-Austrian, Italian, German, Yugoslawian) before it finally, just 25 years ago, became Slovenia. The "green heart of Europe" comes up with alpine mountains (Karavankas), sea (Adriatic Coast), downs, woodlands and karst.
