Stjuža Lagoon

/default/2017/znamenitosti/strunjan/

Stjuža Lagoon, Slovenia’s only marine lagoon, stands out as a rare ecosystem shaped by Strunjan River sedimentation. 

Part of the Strunjan Nature Reserve and protected under the Natura 2000 network, it supports diverse waterfowl in an environment where water flows only with the tide.

Its rich seagrass meadows make it an ideal spot for bird enthusiasts.

Located in Strunjan Nature Park, Stjuža is accessible via local roads, open year-round.

Once used for fish farming, the lagoon reflects a long-standing cultural practice now aligned with conservation efforts.

Visitors should be prepared for changing weather, bring binoculars, and follow local guidelines to protect wildlife.
