It is time to go south and explore Slovenian wonders and gems of Karst. The Slovenian karst is perhaps best known for its caves (there are around 8000 recorded) and for the production of air-dried hams or prosciutto which combine perfectly with the region’s red wine Teran. Stop in Lipica, famous stud farm with more than 400 years of tradition and special horse breed Lippizaner. They are a special breed that was created for the emperors of Habsburg empire and are born black but growing up, they change to white. They will surely impress you! Proceed to the Slovenian coast located on top of Istrian peninsula. Try your luck in one of the casinos or take a romantic walk through medieval streets of Koper, Izola and Piran.
Day 7 Slovenian Coast – Postojna

From Koper that used to be an island and existed already in Roman times, all the way to romantic Piran one of the nicest gems of North Adriatic. For nature lover, we absolutely recommend visit of saltpans in Sečovlje, where they produce one of the most quality salts in the word – even James Oliver is cooking with it! Drive back to Karst later, this time you can explore its underworld! The largest and most known cave system is Postojna Cave, the home of the human fish and the only cave with electric train in it. But we must not forget Škocjan Caves (UNESCO world heritage), cave Vilenica the oldest show cave in Europe and others.
