Review & FAQ:

Cerknica is a church-town in southwestern Slovenia with three beautiful churches for people to visit when there: the Church of the Nativity of Mary, and two chapels of ease dedicated to Saint Roch and John the Baptist. The Nativity of Mary is a late Gothic hall church that dates back to the late 1400s.

It is an architectural beauty with its triple-nave structure and Baroque chapel. Cerknica is also home to the “largest disappearing lake in Slovenia and Europe”, Cerknica Lake. The intermittent lake’s mysterious disappearance and reappearance is a natural wonder and visitors can enjoy the flora and fauna which can be seen by hiking, bicycling, or by taking a walk through the forest trails.
