The Lakes & Caves of Slovenia Prepare to be blown away by the sights and scenery of this Slovenia tour. Apart from being based in Lake Bled, with the serenity and quiet of our surroundings, we have included visits to the country’s capital, Ljubljana, the home of the world-famous Lipizzan white horses and stunning visits to the Postonja Caves Park and Lake Bohinj to access the views from the summit of Mount Vogel – sights and scenery galore! PACKAGED ITINERARY Day 1 Arrival We arrive at our hotel in time for dinner. Day 2 Lake Bled Driver’s Day Off We spend the day at leisure in Bled, settling into our accommodation and enjoying our surroundings. Day 3 Ljubljana & Lipica Stud Farm We begin our adventure and head to Ljublijana where we are met by a local guide who will bring the city to life on this tour. Although it is the capital of Slovenia, it is easy to explore on foot and we see its Parliament square, old town including Philharmonic Hall and three bridges as well as cathedral. In the afternoon we visit the Lipica Stud Farm for a guided tour, famous for its white horses, where we learn about the breeding and training of the famous Lipizzan horses. Day Lake Bohinj & the Vogel View Today we meet our local step-on guide who will join us for the day (which includes walking elements), as we make our way to Lake Bohinj . Our journey takes us through some beautiful Alpine scenery on the Pokljuka Plateau to the River Savica and a photo opportunity, before we head to the far end of the lake where we take a cable car to the Vogel viewpoint. On a clear day it is possible to see the peaks of most of the Julian Alps. After our descent, we finish our day at a local farm and cheese factory with a cheese tasting. Day 5 Postojna Caves & Predjama Castle We have a treat today as we visit the Postonja Cave Park for entrance to the Postojna Caves with a private English-speaking guide. Nearly 25km long, this is one of the country’s top tourist attractions and is a truly captivating experience, with stunning caverns, tunnels and geological wonders all created naturally. On our return to the hotel we stop for a photo stop of Predjama Castle , a quite unique fortress built into the vertical rock face. Please note: the caves involve a lot of walking, so may not be suitable for all. Day 6 Departure After breakfast, we begin our journey home.
