On Hexenberg above one of the largest periodic lakes
Lake Cerknica is the largest periodic lake in Europe; its water seeps into the karst fissures underground in the summer and refills with the autumn rains.

The trail is now a well-trodden, wide path, climbs gently, and eventually joins a gravel road coming up from the left. Shortly afterward, a path branches off to the right, but we stay on the wide gravel track, leave the forest behind, and hike along a beautiful, open ridge and across colorful flower meadows to a house, Konjski plac, at 940 m, where the wide path ends.
