Cerknica Lake is a wildlife paradise. Here more than 300 species of birds have been observed – half of all European species; here 45 species of mammals live – half of all Slovenian species; here you can find 125 species of diurnal butterflies – about a third of all European species; there are also 15 species of amphibians breeding here – almost a quarter of all European species. And carnivorous plants, orchids, amphibious plants, that thrive in water as well as on the meadow... The biodiversity of this area is truly exceptional!

You will be able to experience a part of this during a canoe trip from Rešeto toward "Cave Bay". You will be accompanied by a biologist Paul Veenvliet, who will reveal many other interesting facts about the largest Slovenian lake.
