The horses are local. If the week starts from the Karst, we stop at Lipica, where the Lipizzaner stud still stands.
Beds are guesthouses and one hut night. Showers most evenings. The riding is still the day.
Highlights
- ▸ The Soča river from the saddle.
- ▸ Julian Alp meadows.
- ▸ A hut night above the valley.
- ▸ Lipica when the route starts on the Karst.
