Our world between the Gulf of Trieste, the Vipava Valley and the Brkini Mountains is called the Karst. It is where water and soluble stone meet. Ever since, together they have created a magical world of underground caves, disappearing rivers, sinkholes and other karst phenomena. Our Karst plateau has given its name to all the landscapes in the world with similar soil composition, as well as their natural phenomena.
Nature has played a kindly game by placing green and very fertile hills on the edge of the rocky Karst. This are Brkini, a wonderful world of orchards and endless meadows. The views are breathtaking. Almost every hilltop is greeted by a white church and awakens romantic feelings. These are places where one can escape from the mad world.
