In the wet season, Lake Cerknica can grow as large as 40km2. The area, known as the Notranjski Park, has many hiking and cycling trails which allow visitors to explore the pristine nature. It is the habitat of lynx, bears and wolves as well as being a popular destination for bird watchers.
The Krizna Jama cave complex (12 minutes) is made up of 22 underground lakes connected by waterways. Visitors explore the caves in kayaks, a magical experience. There is so much to see in do on your doorstep.
