As part of the MobiTour project, the Lipica Stud Farm acquired 15 electric bicycles and two e-vehicles, and in the coming months will set up four charging stations for electric vehicles at the central parking area in Lipica.
In this way, visitors to the Lipica Stud Farm can experience the green estate of Lipica during a pleasant relaxed walk, a carriage ride or while riding an electric bike.
Since this summer, 15 electric bikes have been available for free rental. They can be rented at the entry point of the stud farm or at the reception of the Hotel Maestoso. With an electric bike, visitors can reach the herd of white Lipizzan horses, the green ambience of tree-avenues and the hidden corners of the Lipica estate.
This was precisely what happened on Saturday, October 20, for participants in the e-orientationtour with electric bicycles and a CO2-free experience of the most beautiful tree avenues of Lipica. The electric bike tour took the participants to five points of interest in the Lipica estate: the ice-pond, the Marmont Avenue, the hippodromeand the Trieste and Vienna avenues. The electric bike tour was accompanied by a presentation of the MobiTour project and the importance of sustainable mobility for the Lipica Stud Farm, one of the most popular Slovenian tourist destinations.
The electric bikes of the MobiTour project are available for tours of the Lipica property, as well as for tours of the Karst region, since the Stud farm, one of the main tourist destinations of the Karst, promotes sustainable mobility. Besides, it contributes to the connections between tourist destinations and project partners, and the promotion of other tourist attractions of the Karst. It takes only a short ride with an electric bike to visit Lokev, the Škocjan Caves Park, the Glinščica valley and the Karst Living Museum.
