You see one of the oldest Slovenian design products on the picture. It was designed by Niko Kralj and massive production started as early as 1952. Niko Kralj, who was later also a professor on our faculty of architecture, was many times awarded for this chair. He is a pioneer of our industry design and one of the most famous desingers in Europe. This chair is represented also in museum of modern art in New York.

You will find amazing things there, some of them were a cult in the former state and comunism. But you have to have a lot of nerves and pay attention to what can be repeared, cleaned etc. and is not actually a garbage. There certainly IS a lot of garbage, so be prepared to dig. The flea market has already been discovered by tourists, so come early, when there is still something to be bought. You can also have a snack there and there is vegetable market nearby. And of course - you can also buy a used car nearby to drive home. Leave a Comment Other Contact: If you have came by car, you wil

 Skocian Cave by ant1606
The most famous is probably Postojna. A short walk after the entrance takes to the train station. Yes, you will visit the cave on board small cars organized as a train on rails. Do not expect a rollercoaster. This train runs horizontally through the first part of the cave in a loop back to the starting point. Train takes you to the starting point of the walking tour.
Skocian is a different type of cave. Contrary to Postojna, it's a "live" cave where a water stream is still carving for your wonder. Walking tour of Skocian is up and down and through a bridge over the imposing creek. Main attraction here is a huge room with roaring and thundering water at work. Leave a Comment

Skofja Loka is one of the most ancient town in Slovenia.
There you could visit the castle. It was built before 1202 and rebuilt after the earthquake of 1511. It hosts an archeological, ethnological and historical collection.
Other things worth a look in Skofja Loka are; the Capuchin's Bridge; Homans' House (today it's a cafe and a Chinese restaurant) and some churches.
On the last weekend of june a Medieval event is held in this town; the Venus Trail (see tip).
There are several buses going from Ljubljana to Skofja Loka every day. The journey takes around 40 minutes. Leave a Comment Directions: Skokja Loka is about 23 km. northwest of Ljubljana.Website: www.skofjaloka.si

This place was founded in 1580 to provide horses to the Hapsburg royalty in Vienna and later (1735) evolved into the source for the Spanish Riding School. These are magnificent creatures who at birth are black or very dark brown and turn white as they mature which takes about 7 years. The ones who become star performers are selected during and after a 4 to 6 year training period.
Tours are given frequently and last about 60-90 minutes. There are designated gathering spots for tours in 5 languages. We were joined by a Belgian couple and our guide was most knowledgeable. The tour includes pretty much all the facilities and the horses in stalls although many are on the grounds of 800 acres. You can also see either a training session or a performance. The tour and the performance together cost about $12-$15 and are well worth it. There is separate pricing for tours (about $7) and tour plus training session (about $10). We were there in the morning and missed the morning performance but left ot go cave exploring and came back for the afternoon performance and paid only the difference in price for the combination ticket.
You can also see the horses in the pastures and as you can see from the photos get up close and personal with them. They are outside until 6:00 p.m when they are all brought in for the night.
On the grounds there is also a small muesem which is of course devoted to horses and has a nice collection of paintings by an English artist named George Hamilton (not the US film star). There is also a small chapel dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua who is the patron saint of animals. He sure gets around this part of the world.
Though we did not try them there are other attractions on the grounds including a casino and a golf course.
After returning home we were delighted to learn that the Lipizanners will be appearing in Atlanta in December 2005 in honor of the 60th anniversary of the rescue of the breed by General Patton near the end of WWII. Leave a Comment Directions: Go south from Ljubljana on the freeway (maybe it is a tollway) about an hour or so and take the Divaca exit then follow the signs.
