Join us on Hiking Festival in Notranjska park.
Apply for the traditional hike by the largest Slovenian lake (when it's full, of course) - allready taking place for the 12th time. From the remains of Šteberk castle on the eastern part of the lake to the western edge of the lake, to the place where Karlovec castle once stood. According to the legend about the creation of the Lake Cerknica, the prince of Šteberk walked (and later rowed) to reach the princess of Karlovec. You will be surprised by the secrets of the karst world hidden by the edge of the intermittent lake.
