KARST REGION Adventure Day | from Ljubljana
Via-ferrata Climb - Vipava valley - UNESCO Škocjan caves - Slovenian Karst
TOUR DETAILS
Vipava valley and Karst region are at its most beautiful in spring and autumn, when the sun is pleasantly warm and the landscape is in vibrant colours.
We will start our day with a drive towards Vipava valley. Soon after reaching the valley we will be able to see the rock formation we are about to climb. You will receive safety instructions about the use of equipment, than we will gear up for the climb and off we go.
The climb is steep and exposed, but technically not very demanding (via-ferrata grade B). During the climb we will enjoy the views of the valley bellow and surrounding landscape dotted with small villages and vineyards. After we reach the top of the climb we will descend back down into the valley on a hiking trail.
We will make a quick stop for lunch in the town of Vipava. Than we will visit the world famous Škocjan Caves. It is one of the most impressive karst formations in the world and a part of UNESCO world heritage.
