The entrance to the water caves from which the Rak River springs is under the small natural bridge in the Rakov Škocjan Karst Reserve. The water that seeps into the western part of Lake Cerkniško jezero continues its path right through this 3 km long cave system. The cave used to be even longer, but after the cave ceiling collapsed, the Rakov Škocjan gorge was formed and only the small and large natural bridges remain from the former ceiling.
Definitely worth seeing!
