Annual, not live: the 2025 class summarises several seasons of sampling. It does not show today’s pollution, algae or bans.

Season status: Today (6 November 2026) is outside the official bathing season (1 June – 15 September). Official monitoring is tied to the season (a first sample may be taken shortly before it opens), so there are no current official water-quality results now. The next season starts on 1 June 2027.

Where to check today's status in Slovenia

Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO), Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy

Official bathing season: 1 June – 15 September at sea; 15 June – 31 August inland. ARSO’s bathing-water map shows current sample results and advisories; site boards carry QR codes linking to it.

Annual EEA classes on this site do not show temporary bans, short-term pollution or algae alerts. Those are published by the competent authority. National information last checked 2026-11-01.

How to read this map: Each dot is one official bathing water, coloured by its 2025 rating; select a dot to open that site. Coloured areas are the regions; region names link to their pages. Sea and large lakes are blue, neighbouring countries grey. Positions: official EEA coordinates. Boundaries: Eurostat NUTS 2024, generalised (© EuroGeographics); lakes: Natural Earth. Outlines are simplified, so a few shoreline dots can sit just offshore.
