Lake Cerknica
Distance from Slovenianbears lodge: 23km , 33min
Location: Lake Cerknica, 1380 Cerknica
Lake Cerknica is one of the largest intermittent lakes in Europe. It appears every year on the karst polje (plain), caught between the Javorniki hills and the Bloke plateau on one side, and Mount Slivnica on the other. During the dry season, the lake disappears, which enables paddling, fishing, hiking or grass mowing in the same area in just one year.
Park Škocjan Caves
Distance from Slovenianbears lodge: 65km , 55min
Location: Matavun 12 6215 Divača
The Škocjan Caves are a unique natural phenomenon, the creation of the Reka River. The Reka River springs from below the Snežnik plateau and flows some fifty-five kilometres on the surface. After reaching the Karst, that is the limestone surface, the river not only deepens its riverbed through erosion, but also by means of corrosion – it dissolves the limestone.
