City/town information
Piran... our Adriatic treasure! The beautiful medieval seaside town, huddled on a pointed peninsula, always fascinates us and reminds us of the diversity of our country. Breathe in the sea air and take the time to climb to the top of the city walls at sunset, go diving on the piranha punta, have a romantic dinner or play soccer with the kids on Tartini square. Get lost in its narrow streets, admire the Venetian architecture and explore some part that you missed on your previous visit.
Piran has always been an important "player" in this area. Fishing, fruit and vegetable production in the fertile hinterland, trade and especially salt production were of key importance in the development of the city. The influence of Venice has always been strong, and for more than 500 years Piran was also part of the Republic of Venice, which can be seen today especially in its architecture. Looking at the red Venetian house on the edge of Tartini square, you will think for a moment that you are actually in Venice, and you will notice lions (the symbol of the Republic of Venice) on the facades of many houses in Piran.

In the Sečovel salt marsh landscape park, the past and the present still shake hands. The traditional hand-harvesting of salt on salt plots is not only a specialty of the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean Slovenia, but also provides conditions that enable the preservation of the most important natural heritage of the Sečovel salt pans. According to written sources, the Sečovel salt pans are more than seven hundred years old, and some authors swear that they are significantly older. Once there were salt pans in Slovenian Istria all along the sea coast, but today they are preserved only near Sečovlje and in Strunjan. In 1989, the Sečovel Salt Flats were protected as a landscape park, in which only those economic activities that do not threaten the natural balance are permitted. Such activities are salt farming and the cultivation of marine organisms. Today, the salt pans are protected by state regulation as a Landscape Park.

Koper is one of the oldest Slovenian cities. It hides a beautiful and lively old town. The long reign of the Republic of Venice left a fantastic architectural legacy that is definitely worth a visit. Explore the narrow streets of Koper, discover its many markets and mingle with the locals.
Koper or Capo d'Istria ( the head of Istria) was once an island and a saltworks town. Its beginnings date back to the Roman period, but the Republic of Venice gave it its greatest stamp, during which it flourished economically and culturally. With its collapse and the construction of the Trieste-Vienna railway, Koper lost a little of its importance, but after the Second World War it began to develop more strongly again and over time became the economic capital of the coastal region and an important port city.

Strmec Castle (Socerb) is the only major fortified building on the Karst edge above Obalo and fascinates every visitor. The area of Socerb Castle is even registered as a monument of national importance.

The area around the castle is also registered as a cultural landscape.
Near the castle, you can also see the Holy Cave - a karst cave with the only underground church in Slovenia.

Strunjanski križ is located on an 80 meter high flysch cliff, the highest on the Adriatic. It offers the most beautiful view in the whole of Istria. First, we notice the long cargo ships in front of the ports of Koper and Trieste. The sun, the wind and the seas tear off one centimeter each year. The cross on it marks a very special place. Folk tradition tells that on the day of Mary's Assumption, a fierce storm raged over the Gulf of Trieste. The ships would have sunk, but Mary appeared on top of the cliff and calmed the raging nature.

Despite its small area, Škocjan bay is a very special place for nature lovers. Almost three-quarters of the nature reserve consists of semi-saline lagoons, where salt water merges with fresh water. This creates a unique environment characterized by the so-called salt marshes, plants adapted to salt in the air and soil. In Slovenia, they only grow in the Sečovel and Strunjan salt pans. The reserve, with its nesting islets, sea marshes and shores constantly exposed to the tides, is home to rare animal and plant species, where birds especially stand out.

The Škocjan Caves were added to the UNESCO list in 1986 due to their exceptional importance for world natural heritage. With this, the international professional public recognized the exceptional importance of caves, as one of the pearls on planet Earth. The Škocjan caves are the most important underground phenomenon in the Karst and in Slovenia, and are among the most important caves in the world. Man has always been attracted by the gorge, at the end of which the river disappears underground, and the mysterious cave entrances. The river plunges under a rock wall, the top of which is the village of Škocjan, which also gave the caves their name.
Archaeological research proves that people have been living in caves and their surroundings since ancient times - from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages through Antiquity and the Middle Ages to today, i.e. for more than 5,000 years. The finds in this area prove to us that even in prehistoric times, the importance of the Škocjan Caves was not only local, but at least regional. Basic research into karst and karst phenomena also began in this area in the 19th century. This is where the international geomorphological terms "karst" and "valley" come from.

Under the walls of the karst edge of Slovenian Istria, in the village of Hrastovlje, stands the stone church of St. Trinity. Its interesting exterior alone will attract our attention, but inside are hidden the most extensive preserved medieval paintings, led by the famous "Dance of the Dead".
On the edge of Hrastovelj, among vineyards and olive trees, you will notice a stone wall above which rises the bell tower of the church of St. Trinity. The church was built in the 15th century, and about 100 years later a wall with two defensive towers was built to defend against the Turks. The architecture of the church is very interesting, both the walls and the roof are made of stone. The church itself is quite small, but inside it boasts the largest and best-preserved wall paintings in our country. The painter Janez from Kastvo and his team painted the entire interior (walls, vaults and ceiling) and finished the work in 1490. The frescoes are earthy colors, and the motifs are mostly church and depict the apostles, the coronation of Mary, the Holy Trinity. Kings, Christ's Way of the Cross, the world of creation, and the most famous, of course, is the Mortva Dance. It is a procession of different people from the society of that time, who march towards death together with skeletons. The motif is said to originate from plague epidemics and conveys that death does not choose between rich and poor, young and old, nor can it be bribed (if you look closely, you'll see someone offering gold coins to the skeleton).
You will learn more about the church and the paintings from the caretaker, with whom you also pay the entrance fee.
A visit inside the walls and the church is possible by prior agreement with Mrs. Rozana Rihter.
