Not to be missed is the wild Lake Cerknica (12 minutes). In winter the lake can grow to as much as 40km2 and in the dry season, it shrinks to almost nothing. The area is known as the Notranjski Park and is home to bears, lynx and wolves. It is a very popular bird-watching spot. Also the Krizna Jama cave complex (12 minutes) with its 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.

Ljubljana makes a fascinating day trip. It is a small city packed with history. A tour of its medieval castle is not to be missed. Neither is a visit to the Central Market where you can find fresh local produce and regional delicacies.
