Kras (or Karst) is a mysterious small world in itself, caught in the gusts of bora in the winter, blanketed in freshness and flower scents in the spring, caressed by sunlight in the summer, and gleaming in warm colours in the fall. An exceptional interlacement of the subterranean and aboveground Karst created an idyllic environment for maturing the Karst prosciutto and cultivating vineyards that give shelter to the famous teran. Behind the stone walls, the mystical world hides friendly, warm and hospitable people who cohabit with the landscape in their unique way, taking care of the culinary variety. The rugged countryside is a maze of secluded paths that snake between the stone walls and vineyards, and it’s a pleasant and exciting part of the world for cyclists as well.
