A low, dry wind carries the smell of limestone across the car window as the road drops from the Alpine foothills toward the open plains of the Karst. On a private day tour from Bled, the landscape changes from glacial lakes and fir trees to stony pastures, white Lipizzaner horses grazing under wide skies and caves that seem to swallow sound.
