Sail into the mysterious world of Lake Cerknica.

While paddling on the calm surface of Lake Cerknica, you will discover hidden parts of the lake, picturesque bays, the entrance to the Skadulca cave and the small lake "reed islands". At the same time, you will learn about nature and life by the lake through the stories of the local guides.
