Cerknica Lake 🛶 Underworld Gates

Many pit holes, estavelles and the like lead the water into or out of the vast karst cave system in the mountains on the western side of the valley. Follow me on a safe distance along that side of the lake!

Lake Cerknica (Slovene: Cerkniško jezero; German: Zirknitzer See; oft attributed as Magic lake, or Mystic lake) is - according to a Slovene tourist organization booklet - the European largest intermittent lake, area wise. You have to "catch" it while it is there, since most of the time there is not much more then fields to be seen.

This is the third (and last) of my three Lake Cerknica paddle videos, taken on 2023-06-01 (=June 1st, 2023), as the water level was at the 333cm mark. More information for potential paddlers in the "real world" can be found in description of my first paddle video on this lake: "Cerknica Lake 🛶 Lilies". There is also a walking video at the same lake: "Cerknica Lake 🚶 Sunrise".

More special places will follow... By foot, by bike and by kayak. Stay tuned - maybe you want to follow me...
