Slovenia has a rich Karst underworld with countless caves and underground streams and a few kilometres of coastline with mysterious medieval towns and an interesting surface. On the tour Winter walking Slovenia we will head towards one of the coastal peaks, explore the medieval towns, the world under the sea, the disappearing lake and then disappear ourselves into the bowels of the underworld. By the coast, a world of hidden and sparsely populated Karst plains exists that attract hikers and bicyclists through the whole year.
Winter walking in Slovenia ‘From peaks to the sea’ invites you to enjoy a hike through the world of Karst caves, coastal towns, Karst villages and rocky cliffs also in the winter time. We will climb one of these plains, Vremščica, Slavnik or Lipnik – Peaks of the Podgorski Karst. Along with that we will take a look at the coastal town Piran, regional parks Sečovelje Salina and Debeli rtič and the underworld of Škocjan Caves, which are world famous due to the largest discovered underworld canyon, which has been a part of Unesco’s world heritage list since 1986. On our way back we will try to discover the secret of the disappearing Lake Cerknica.
