Along the border between Italy and Slovenia, in the vicinity of Sezana and Trieste, lies the Horse Stud Lipica, a green oasis in the middle of the Karst. It was founded in the year 1580 by the Austrian archduke Charles, who was at that time the regent of Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Istria and Triest. It remained property of the Court of Vienna until 1918. Lipica experienced in its history good and successful periods as well as hard times. In wartimes the herd of Lipica horses had to flee from Lipica, seeking refuge in other countries. But it always returned from the exile, more or less decimated, yet still succeeding to weather the difficulties and to recover. Nowadays Lipica continues and even improves the antient, 400 year old tradition of breeding the famous white horses.

Today Lipica is a well equipped tourist resort offering extensive possibilities so as to satisfy the most exigent guests. Those who have ever seen a performance of the classical school of riding, consider it an unforgettable experience. The visitors become acquainted with the history of Lipica during their visit to the stud farm, which includes also a stop at he art gallery to admire the works of art by Avgust Cernigoj, great Slovene painter, who spent some years in Lipica and on the Karst.

Peaceful and beautiful natural scenery, offering attractive promenades among hundred year old oaks and fragrant lime trees, bicycle rides or riding on thoroughbred Lipica horses, provide a unique relaxation and recreation. Children can ride the ponies or amuse themselves on the children's playground, whereas the other guests can opt for the golf course, tennis courts, riding a horse or rides in old fashioned carriages.
