Cerknica

Highlight • Settlement

Cerknika is a village where life is good which is best known for its lake Cerknisko Jezero, which is the largest intermittent lake in Europe. That is, in summer it recedes and decreases. In times of high water the lake begins about 2.5 kilometers south of Cerknica, in the village of Dolenje Jezero where the lake museum is located, which presents the functioning of this nature reserve. Cerknica has a bike workshop, which can come in handy in case of repairs. You will find camping by the lake and accommodation in the town centre.

Rakitna Lake

Highlight • Lake

One kilometer from the center of the village, next to the Rakitna - Cerknica road, there is an artificial lake in a picturesque natural environment. In summer, you can go swimming in addition to swimming, and in winter you can skate or play hockey on it. Fishing for carp, grass carp, perch, redeye and redfin is possible in the lake. There is a large parking lot by the lake. From here it is the starting point for a popular circular walking route along an asphalted road through a settlement of holiday homes, across meadows, past the Mladinski climatic spa and the center of the village (40 min). It is also the starting point for the interesting Forest and Archeological Learning Path and the Path of the Famous Rakica Mast. Right next to the lake is Hotel Rakitna with a restaurant, pizzeria, rooms, apartments, wellness, fitness and seminar room. Behind Lake Pr'Martin, they serve a variety of burgers and horse dishes on the weekends in their American air-stream trailer and open terrace. There is also a replica of the Raki mast with information boards, which already in 1894 carried the fame of the mighty Raki forests all the way to Trieste.
