Hotels in Karst Plateau, Slovenia

The Karst Plateau spans southwestern Slovenia and northeastern Italy, a rocky limestone region with hot summers (up to 86°F/30°C) and cold winters (down to 23°F/-5°C) that carved over 10,000 caves, including the world-famous Postojna Cave with its 5-kilometer railway tour. In spring and fall, you can cycle through the vineyards around Lipica, home of the Lipizzaner horses, or hike the Karst ridge for views across the Adriatic Sea. Summer is perfect for escaping the heat inside Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO site with a 200-foot-deep underground canyon, while winter brings fewer crowds and affordable lodging for tasting local prosciutto in the villages of Divača or Sežana.
