On the weekend, the tourist information center relocates to a hay cart on the parking pot by the village of Dolenje Jezero. If there weather is nice it welcomes visitors every Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm until late September, offering information, leaflets, souvenirs and guided tours of the world's largest intermittent Karst lake, where tourists can learn many new things.
On the first thematic Sunday, the visitors will be able to ride on a horse-drawn hay cart along Lake Cerknica, which is full of water after recent heavy rains. The list of activities up until late September is very diverse. According to Miha Jernejčič from the Notranjska Regional Part, a plethora of activities will be led by "many tourist guides and various societies".
"The Križna Cave is also open every Saturday and Sunday, there's also the Lake Cerknica museum. We have many places where bikes and canoes can be borrowed, the latter when the water level is sufficient, of course. Last but not least, there are our local tourist guides, who will make sure that visitors are never bored," explains Miha Jernejčič.
Some activities are more oriented toward natural sciences: "We'll have a tour of edible plants in the park, we offer bird watching, a tour of Rakov Škocjan etc." A few thematic Sundays will be devoted to families: "Children will be able to explore animate and inanimate nature of Lake Cerknica", concludes Jernejčič.
