 Cerknica Lake - a Karst disappearing lake is also famous. It is a lake for half the year in which one can fish and, in winter, skate on the frozen surface. It starts to disappear in spring and leaves behind a polje (field), where farmers cut hay through the summer. The causes of the drying out of this natural curiosity, already famous in classical times, were studied more than three hundred years ago by the natural and social historian, Janez Vajkard Valvasor. His report encouraged great interest; and he was elected a member of the Royal Society in London for his interpretations. More information: |
