Lake Cerknica or Cerkniško Lake is – Europe’s largest intermittent lake. Taking a trip to Lake Cerknica is always a good idea, as long as the lake is there of course. Now you see it, now you don’t!

The lake is usually at its largest in spring, whilst when dry it becomes a green meadow where cattle graze amongst sinkholes.
