Quiet zone

Bobnarica (Botaurus stellaris) čepi na zaledenelem jezeru.

During the birds' nesting periods, a quiet zone is established in the narrower parts of Lake Cerknica. This allows birds to nest peacefully, without major disturbances from visitor activities.

  • No boating in area B: from 1 March to 15 June during the birds' nesting season.
  • Quiet zone for Great bittern (Botaurus stellaris) or fishing reserve: prohibition of sport fishing (the zone is marked and delimited with posts and a no-fishing symbol).
