You can set off to one of the mountain tops: Slivnica, Veliki Javornik, Špičasto Stražišče or Križna Gora. Expert hikers may choose to conquer the Notranjska transverzala Trail and check off all four peaks at once.

If you  prefer shorter walks in idyllic nature, you will probably enjoy yourself more on one of the education trails. The shortest one is the Bee-keepers' Trail, where you can see different beehives and taste  honey products if you’re  accompanied by a guide. The best-known trail is the Rakov Škocjan educational trail, where you can see the most important natural and cultural sights of the sunken valley. However, for a wonderful example of interaction between natural and cultural heritage, you should opt for the Menišija Education Trail at the village of Dobec.

And let's not forget the  longer trails: the Kunaver Trail leads from Rakek to the Rakov Škocjan Valley, and  the trail from Šteberk to Karlovec runs along Lake Cerknica and explains  the legend of the origin of the lake.
