A closer look
Planning a fishing trip to Lake Cerknica requires checking the calendar carefully, because half the year, the lake literally does not exist. Slovenia's famous intermittent lake drains entirely through a complex system of underground karst sinkholes during the dry season, transforming a massive body of water into a grassy pasture where local farmers graze their cattle. If you time your vacation wrong, you will show up with a kayak only to find yourself staring at a very damp meadow.
