Known as the disappearing lake, Lake Cerknica is surrounded by many channels. For that reason, the volume of water in the lake varies excessively: during heavy rain, the water erupts from the surrounding channels and floods the lake while during the dry season, the opposite happens and the lake becomes normal land.
 

4. Valley of Triglav Lakes

Within the alpine valley between Bohinj and Trenta is the beautiful Valley of Triglav Lakes, also known as the Seven Lakes Valley. Lovely hiking trails lead to those seven fantastic lakes, all surrounded by the beauty of Mother Nature.
 

5. Lake Velenje

Due to the mining activity in the region, the lovely Lake Velenje was created, along with two other lakes. Lake Velenje is the deepest lake of Slovenia with its 54 meters depth. Many outdoor and water activities can be done around Lake Velenje.
