At first sight it seems that Notranjska (former Inner Carniola) does not tell us everything about itself, because its essential part remains hidden below earth. In the interior of limy layers, water has formed a complex labyrinth of caves, precipices, underground lakes and galleries with stalactites of unusual forms, a real underworld kingdom. This landscape has no equal in the world, strewn with karst holes and karst fields with intermittent rivers.
In the mysterious
Močilnik near Vrhnika springs the river of seven names – the Ljubljanica River, which paves its way through the Ljubljana Marshes. From the margin of the Marshes there are several valleys extending towards Notranjska, among them also the valley of Bistra with the former monastery of Carthusian monks Bistra, today transformed into the
Tehnical Museum From the surrounding hills – Menišije, the health resort
Rakitne or from the hills of Polhov Gradec you can enjoy a beautiful view of
Vrhnika, the birth
place of the great Slovenian writer
Ivan Cankar. In order to reach the interior part of Notranjska, you have to cross the Logatec Field to reach
Logatec. The
Planinsko polje Field, the most characteristic karst field, shows a lot of unusual karst phenomena. One of them is
Rakov Škocjan, where the waters from the Planinsko and Cerkniško Fields flow into the underworld below a great natural bridge. Another karst phenomenon is the
Cerknica Lake, the largest intermittent lake in Europe. On the field that is filled with water after the spring and autumn rains, whereas during the summer the water runs dry, you can catch fish, mow the lawn and even winter skate all in the same year. The most beautiful view of this nature's miracle you can get from the nearest beauty spot
Slivnica, where according to ancient beliefs witches gather. The place
Cerknica is especially interesting during the Carnival season, attracting visitors from near and far with its traditional Carnival procession.
The most wooded part of Notranjska is the Bloška planota plateau, the cradle of the renowned Bloke skis. On Bloke the Bloke mass skiing competition takes place annually. At the lonesome foothills of Snežnik there is a romantic castle Snežnik, today transformed into a museum, and a good starting point for all mountain trails to Veliki Snežnik with preserved Alpine vegenation. .
