    The Rešeto sinkhole system is a large, compacted area on the right side of Lake Cerknica, next to the settlement of Dolenje jezero. This is a serried area of Karst sinkholes forming a unique surface enabling intensive drainage of water and co-creating the cultural landscape of Lake Cerknica. The intermittence of water had a decisive impact on the lifestyle adjustment of the people living next to Lake Cerknica, who developed unique skills and knowledge (fishing, saving fish when the water was drained, mowing grass for animal bedding, making boats (drevak), farming, folk singing and other traditions, which enabled them to survive next to this natural feature).
