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.
