Lake Cerknica is not only a intermittent wonder, but also an extraordinary source of inspiration, stories, and moments that local photographers capture and preserve through their lenses year after year. Its appearance is constantly changing—from a vast expanse of water to mysterious wetlands and meadows.

As part of the LIFE Tršca project, we invite you to the photography exhibition “Images of Lake Cerknica: Where water tells stories,” which presents Lake Cerknica in all its diversity, beauty, and natural dynamics. The exhibition highlights the importance of preserving this very special piece of the world while also showing how closely people’s lives are intertwined with the lake’s natural rhythms.

The exhibition will be on view through the end of September 2026 at the Jože Udovič Library in Cerknica and all of its branches.

Projects in the Notranjska Park

The implementation of extensive nature conservation projects exceeds the financial capacity of the local community, therefore Notranjska Park regularly applies for projects with the possibility of co-financing by the European Union.
