Nature Park Strunjan

Nature Park Strunjan, nestled along Slovenia’s Adriatic coast, is a compact yet remarkably diverse protected area that invites visitors to explore both natural wonders and cultural heritage. Covering 428 hectares, the park is known for its dramatic cliffs, tranquil saltpans, and the unique Stjuža lagoon—the only sea lagoon in Slovenia. Established in 2004, Strunjan is managed with a focus on conservation and sustainable tourism, making it an ideal destination for eco-conscious travelers.

Visitors can discover the park on their own or join one of several guided tours. Options include a one-hour exploration of the historic saltpans, a tour of the towering cliffs, or a comprehensive two-hour walk that also delves into the history of the lagoon. These tours are available year-round and can be booked in multiple languages, making them accessible to a wide range of guests, from families to school groups.

The Saltpan House, located within the park, hosts the “Park of the Sea” exhibition, which features informative displays and a film about Strunjan’s unique environment. An educational nature trail winds through the park, highlighting the interplay between the Adriatic Sea and the coastal landscape. The park is easily reached by foot, bike, or public transport, and encourages visitors to explore at a gentle pace.

Nature Park Strunjan offers a peaceful retreat where the rhythms of the sea, salt, and Mediterranean flora create a memorable experience on Slovenia’s coastline.
