Karst, a plateau in the southwest of Slovenia, is nestled between the Brkini Hills, the Gulf of Trieste, the Vipava Valley and Istria. It is the fatherland of three features: <strong>Teran wine<\/strong>, <strong>Karst prosciutto<\/strong> and <strong>gale wind<\/strong>. Karst is distinguished by a harmonious combination of continental and mild sub-Mediterranean climate of the Northern Adriatic.<\/p>\n<p>Karst is famous for its range of caves just waiting to be explored. <strong>Postojna Cave<\/strong> might get the most plaudits internationally, but it is the relatively unexplored <strong>Kri\u017ena Cave<\/strong> with its underground lakes and galleries. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.park-skocjanske-jame.si\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>\u0160kocjan Caves<\/strong><\/a> remain the only monument in Slovenia and the Classical Karst region on <strong>UNESCO\u2019s list of natural and cultural world heritage sites<\/strong>.
