Rakov Škocjan
Protected Rakov Škocjan is a 6km-long gorge lying some 5km west of Cerknica. The Rak River, en route to join the Pivka River at Planina Cave, has sculpted 2.5km of hollows, caves, springs and Veliki and Mali Naravni Most, the Big and Little Natural Bridges. There are lots of hiking and biking trails through and around the gorge and the area surrounding it is a protected country park. To the south lies the Snežnik-Javornik Massif, including its tallest peak, Veliki Javornik (1268 metres).
From Rakek train station, you can reach the gorge on foot in about an hour.

Triglav National Park
This is the country's only gazetted national park and includes almost all of the Slovenian Julian Alps. The tallest peak is Triglav but there are many other peaks here reaching over 2000m (6500ft), and the park is rich in flora and fauna. Mountain climbers are well catered for, but there are easy hikes too through beautiful valleys, forests and fields.
