Check today's status and exact location

The annual EEA class gives long-term context. Use the competent authority (Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO), Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy) for temporary pollution, closures or alerts, and confirm this bathing water on the map before relying on the record.

Season status: Today (11 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.
