Slovenia, from lake shores to the Karst
On Lake Bled, traditional pletna boats connect the shore with the island church, while Bled Castle stands on a cliff above the water. At Škocjan, the Reka cuts a canyon underground; beside Piran, salt-making continues in the pans.
At a glance
A place worth remembering
Lake Bled: look beyond the island
Škocjan: follow the story of the Reka
On the Kras Plateau, the Reka disappears into the karst underground and passes through a limestone canyon that UNESCO gives as up to 150 metres high and more than 120 metres wide. The same listing notes rare plants and animals in the collapsed dolines, which are karst sinkholes. UNESCO inscribed the caves in 1986.[3]
Piran: a coastal town shaped by salt
The Slovenian Tourist Board describes Piran as an old port town that grew up under Venetian influence, with narrow streets running down to a central square on the coast. It says fleur de sel is still produced in the salt pans using age-old methods.[4]
