Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 6 hours
The village of Štanjel is located on the Karst. The karst is an idyllic landscape, a phenomenon on a global scale with numerous karst caves, the world-famous white Lipizzaner horses and a stony surface. Slovenia is a karstic land, and it was the Slovenian Classical Karst that lent its name to karst landscapes and phenomena across the world. The knowledge of dry stacking of stones without the use of binder is a basic and primitive construction technique, especially in the Karst. That drywall construction is something special is also proven by the fact that it is included in the UNESCO list of world intangible heritage. The Štanjel medivial castle is located on the Karst. We will see and take pictures of the Renaissance Baroque castle and the rich Ferrari garden. The castle was built on the foundations of the older castle from 11th or 12th century, built in the Romanesque period, there is also a lot of Gothic style proving that the settlement existed already in the Middle Ages, as well as the Renaissance defense towers, but it's final shape was given by the Counts Cobenzli at the end of the 17th Century. The guide will tell you how the doctor from Triest Enrico Ferrari fell in love with this place and began restoring it with his friend, famous architect Max Fabiani, in the years 1924 to 1942. After the tour, we will visit the wine cellar, where we will taste Karst wines and prosciutto. After the tasting we will head to the village of Rodik for the excellent home-made food, the Slovenian national lunch
