On the border between Slovenia and Croatia, not far from Mount Sneznik, which in Slovenian means snowy, on a high plateau dotted with forests, we find the regional park of Inner Carniola, the Notranjska, where, apart from a few cultivated fields, nature still reigns.
This is the world of karst. Limestone rocks are very porous and easily soluble, but the waters do not affect the landscape, they excavate and loosen the rock beneath the surface, forming crevices and tunnels, a labyrinth of caves.
A world that can be discovered following its waters, which change name seven times on their way from the slopes of Mount Snesnik to the Danube. It is the kingdom of light and darkness, following the river disappearing in the unfathomable depths of the earth, and then reappearing into the light of day, in a variety of caves, sinkholes, gorges, enchanted forests and rocky walls, where nature reigns undisputed.
The abundance of water, unspoiled nature and the multitude of flowers make the Inner Carniola a wildlife paradise.
The link between the dark and mysterious world of the underground and the light-filled world of the surface, between the noise of the subterranean waters and the enchanted silence of the woods, gives ‘The fabulous world of Notranjska’ its special charm.
