GREEN FACT<br />
Respect nature and the beauties of Slovenia and choose<br />
an environmentally friendly holiday that is kind to<br />
nature. Travel by bicycle to discover the most hidden<br />
corners and experience the hospitality of the local<br />
people.<br />
FLY FISHING<br />
Slovenia is one of the richest countries in Europe<br />
in terms of water. Over 27,000 kilometres<br />
of watercourses, the tranquillity of unspoilt<br />
nature and a well-conserved wealth of life in<br />
the waters are an invitation to try your hand<br />
at fly fishing. Slovenia’s streams, rivers, ponds<br />
and lakes are a magnet for demanding anglers,<br />
for whom fly-fishing on the emerald-green Soča<br />
is without a doubt a treat to be relished. It is a<br />
real privilege to be able to fish in this blue-green<br />
Alpine beauty, and in order to conserve the environment<br />
and the diversity of aquatic life, we<br />
must be sure to observe the limits of the fishing<br />
season!<br />
Find out more about destinations suitable for<br />
fly-fishing in Slovenia in the electronic publication<br />

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