25km due south of Ljubljana is the wonderful and mysterious Lake Cerknica, which fills up between October and June, freezes during the Winter and empties during the height of Summer. It is an outstanding spot for birdwatching and when full for fishing as well as a variety of water sports. South of the lake lie two of Slovenia’s wildest and most untouched mountain areas – the Snežnik mountains, home to beautiful Snežnik castle and the Kočevski Rog further to the east, both of which offer outstanding hiking and cycling. Between these two mountain areas lies the magnificent Kolpa river valley which forms the border with Croatia.
