FLY FISHING HUNTING
Slovenia is one of the richest countries in
Europe in terms of water. Over 27,000 kilometres
of watercourses, the tranquillity of
unspoilt nature and a well-conserved wealth
of life in the waters are an invitation to try
your hand at fl y fi shing. Slovenia’s streams,
rivers, ponds and lakes are a magnet for demanding
anglers, for whom fl y-fi shing on
the emerald-green Soča is without a doubt a
treat to be relished. It is a real privilege to be
able to fi sh in this blue-green Alpine beauty,
and in order to conserve the environment
and the diversity of aquatic life, we must
be sure to observe the limits of the fi shing
season!
Find out more about destinations suitable
for fl y-fi shing in Slovenia in the electronic
publication Fly Fishing in Slovenia at

FISHING
How about a day spent fi shing in fast clear
alpine rivers and lakes, dreamy karst waters,
meadow streams, low mountain rivers
or fascinating ‘disappearing’ karst lakes?
Fish are managed mostly by individual
fi shing clubs. Th ese are associations with
special authority as nongovernmental organisations
(NGOs), which undertake management
on behalf of the State. Th ey manage
approximately 94% of Slovenian waters,
whereas the remaining 6% are managed by
the public Fisheries Research Institute of
Slovenia.
Slovenia’s broad forests off er a wide choice
of hunting grounds. Well organised and
supervised hunting is possible both in
mountain hunting grounds at medium and
low altitude and in the forests of Slovenia’s
boundless plains. Th ose in good physical
condition can also go hunting in the highmountain
hunting grounds of the Julian
Alps. For sport hunting enthusiasts, who
give due attention to hunting seasons and
conservation of the natural environment,
Slovenia is an excellent choice.
BIRD
WATCHING
Th ree hundred and seventy-fi ve diff erent
species of birds. Two hundred and twenty
of them nesting in Slovenia. Eleven of
these species are very rare or endangered.
Numerous protected areas, well-conserved
natural conditions and the eff orts of nature
protection organisations mean that many
birds remain in or return to Slovenia. Th e
Ljubljansko Barje wetlands, Lake Cerknica,
the Notranjska Regional Park, the Sečovlje
Salina Nature Park and many other areas
are true nature reserves where ornithologists
and other visitors can even observe
the very rarest species.
