    Divje jezero or Wild lake is amazing with all of it's colors. I definitely would recommend the visit and after that drive or walk down to Idrijska Bela for some more amazing views of the Idrijca river. To see how it looks like be sure to check my youtube channel Big Joe Cheap Travels
  • By Barbara Kerekes
    Special place with a lake that is the entrance of a 160 m deep cave. And also here is the shortest Slovenian river . It would be nice if there would be more English description of the interesting facts about the lake
  • By Jaka Jaka
    Beautiful lake, hidden amongst hills near city Idrija. The deepest lake in Slovenia.
  • By Olga Lepeshkina
    Nice and silent place. Worth a visit if you’re in Idrija.
  • By Gabor Kristofcsak
    A small, really wild like, nothing to do around it. The small river has a public beach a little bit further away. That is much better.
