The campsite is located »in the middle of nowhere«, making it ideal for exploring blooming meadows, mysterious forests and stargazing. For the active ones, there are kilometres of gravel roads and field trails for cycling and hiking. Cerknica Lake, Rakov Škocjan, Križna jama and Gorski Kotar with the Risnjak National Park, river Kolpa are just some of the natural wonders in the neighbourhood. A short walk will take you to the white beauty – Snežnik castle.
Cerknica lake
One of the largest dissapearing lakes in Europe is just a few kilometers away from the campsite. A great option for a cycling trip. Bike rental is also possible from local providers.
Cycling
You can go cycling and explore just the surrounding area. You can turn towards lake Cerknica or deep into the forest, all the way to mountain Snežnik. A slightly more demanding but extremely beautiful tour is through Gorski kotar, towards the sea or to the Kolpa river. We can also arrange bike rental for you.
Green Karst Trail
You're invited to the 4th bikepacking challenge in the heart of the green Slovenian Karst! Kilometres of macadam roads and cart tracks await you in the embrace of forests, across the mysterious karst world, on bear tracks, over the land of intermittent lakes, quaint villages and between remote castles and mansions.
Hiking
You can explore the surroundings of the campsite on a circular trail around the Loška valley. You can start it right from the camp and walk it in a few hours. More information is available at the reception. There are several options for starting your tour to Snežnik mountain, the highest non-alpine peak in Slovenia.
Križna cave
10 km away from the camp is one of the most beautiful water caves, where you have several options for visiting.
Rakov škocjan
You can combine a visit to Lake Cerknica with Rakov Škocjan. It is best to get to know it on the circular path. In addition to two natural bridges, you discover the karst world and the mysterious path of water.
Snežnik Castle
Visiting the castle, which keeps the belongings of the last owners, takes you back 100 years in time. The castle park also hides many secrets, which are best discovered by a local guide.

1. Is there a bathing place near the campsite?
There is no bathing place close to the campsite, but there are a few options not so far away. One of them is lake Volčje, which is a tourist swimming area located in Bloke and is a 20-minute drive from the campsite. If the water level is high enough in lake Cerknica, it is also possible to swim there. The Kolpa River is also just about 30-minute drive away.
2. Do you offer bicycle rentals?
We do not have bicycles available at the campsite. However, there is the possibility to rent electric bicycles (2 bikes) at the Rihtarjeva domačija in Babno polje and 5 bicycles at the Turist informational center in Stari trg. For larger groups (10 or more people), we can organize the delivery of classic bicycles to the campsite.
3. Are there good hiking options around the campsite?
If you enjoy hiking, you've come to the right place, as Loška dolina offers excellent hiking trails that take you through the valley or to beautiful viewpoints. The first of these is Križna gora, where there is an excellent view of Loška dolina, Cerkniško polje, and the Bloško plateau. If you would rather go a little higher, we recommend mount Snežnik, which, at 1796 meters, is the highest non-Alpine mountain in Slovenia. For those who prefer walking on the flat, we recommend the marked circular path through Loška dolina.
4. What are the possibilities for cycling?
For our area, we can say that both road and gravel cyclists will find something to their liking. From the campsite, there are gravel roads that lead you to Babno polje, where you have the opportunity to visit the village and take a guided tour with Alenka Veber from Rihtarjeva domačija. Mašun is a popular spot among cyclists; it's a small tourist settlement under mount Snežnik, where the restaurant (Gostišče Mašun) is located. Loška dolina borders Cerknica, Bloke and Loški potok, and good paved and gravel roads lead to them. Among other things, there are also many possibilities for more endurance cyclists. An excellent choice is Gorski kotar on the Croatian side. There you can explore the Risnjak National Park, head towards Čabar and the Kolpa river, or take the road towards the sea.
