Lake
Lake Bloke

Bloško jezero is a small lake on the Bloke Plateau in the Primorsko-notranjska region of inner Slovenia. Its open shores, surrounded by meadows and forest, make it a quiet stop for a short walk around the water. The lake lies in the Bloke area, between the Notranjska karst and the hills south of Ljubljana.

45 km
Spring
Tolminka

The Tolminka is a mountain river in the Goriška region of western Slovenia, and this point marks its spring area in the hills above Tolmin. It is a quiet spot to see where clear Alpine water emerges before flowing down toward the town. Reaching it means a walk on mountain terrain north of Tolmin, so sturdy footwear is sensible.

46 km
Lake
Lake Cerknica

Lake Cerknica is an intermittent karst lake in the Primorsko-notranjska region, near the town of Cerknica. Depending on the season and rainfall, it fills into one of the largest lakes in Slovenia or drains away through underground karst channels, leaving meadows and fields. The flat surroundings suit easy walks and cycling along the shore and across the lake basin.

47 km
Castle
Leutemberg Castle

Leutemberg Castle, known in Slovenian as Grad Lože, is a castle in the Goriška region of western Slovenia, near the village of Lože in the Vipava Valley. It is a modest stop for those interested in the region's historic buildings and can be combined with a visit to nearby Vipava villages.

47 km

Cross Cave (Križna jama) is a karst cave in the Primorsko-notranjska region of Slovenia, known for its chain of underground lakes and its rich cave fauna. It is one of the country's best-known caves and is visited in small guided groups rather than on paved walkways.

48 km
Lake
Lake Petelinje

Lake Petelinje is an intermittent karst lake in the Primorsko-notranjska region, one of the seasonal lakes of the Pivka area that fill with water and then drain away again through the karst underground. Depending on the season and rainfall, visitors may find open water or a dry, grassy basin, which is what makes repeat visits worthwhile. It lies in the countryside near the town of Pivka and is best explored on an easy walk along field paths around the basin.

51 km
Cave
Golobina

Golobina is a karst cave in the Primorsko-notranjska region of inner Slovenia, an area known for its limestone landscape riddled with caves and sinkholes. It is a quiet stop for visitors interested in the underground side of the Notranjska karst. Check access conditions locally before setting out, as the cave is not a developed show cave.

52 km
