Through the centuries, the stud has maintained the tradition of breeding and selecting the best purebred Lipizzaner horses. In the last forty years, Lipica has also cultivated the equestrian arts, and its achievements are presented at various international riding events. It offers a range of modern facilities such as hotels, an indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a fitness center, conference rooms, a casino, a golf course, and tennis courts. Guests can spend a delightful holiday learning or improving riding skills, taking carriage rides, or simply enjoying the unspoiled natural surroundings.
Children can ride ponies or amuse themselves in the children's playground.
A performance of the classical riding school, which takes place in a covered arena, is an unforgettable experience, as is a visit to the stud farm and to the art gallery with its exhibition of paintings by Avgust ernigoj. SI-6210 Se ana tel.
