Prsut, Teran wine and disappearing rivers


The “Kras”, or Karst, in the west of this tiny country, is an area of woodlands, meadows and unspoilt villages with an ever-present backdrop of mountains. Its limestone foundation gives rise to the most extraordinary geological phenomena - vast cave systems, one of which you visit, rivers that disappear into cliffs (you visit a castle over one), and a jumbled woodland landscape. This porous rock is mother also to some fine vineyards producing the unique Teran wine, a ferocious red to be drunk as an accompaniment to the local prosciutto (“Prsut”). You will stay in farms that produce their own wine, hams and honey. You stay also next to the original Lipizzaner stud and end your holiday with a night either in the lively Italian seaport of Trieste or the pretty Slovenian capital Ljubljana (depending on your choice of airport).
