7 hints for summer refresment at Savinja and Šalek Valley, Slovenia


The summer is on! I have enjoyed the wild and peaceful corners of Savinja and Šalek Valley - been partying next to Velenje Lake, swimming in Savinja river, descending the Cuc canyon, have done rafting and been to the highest Slovenian tourist cave, Snežna jama cave that prouds itself with ice sculpctures even in the hot summer days. Fishing?.. Hm... That' s something that is on my bucket list for next weeks.

1. DISCOVERING THE HIDDEN CORNERS NEXT TO SAVINJA RIVER

Finding the perfect spot next to vivid Savinja river is a perfect idea for hot summer days. In some parts Savinja river is deep enough for swimming and the sandy coast covered with smooth stones is a great place for enjoying nature. The temperature of the river varies during the year and also depends on location, but is approx. 20 degrees Celsius.

Velenje Lake is becoming more and more popular in last few years. The beach complex with restaurants and sport activities club has been established. Swimming, SUP, sailing, kayaking and even small part of the coast for dogs. The temperature in the summer is about 25 degress Celsius.

Exploring the river from the boat is another great idea for those who want to get wet in summer. The sport agencies in the Savinja Valley organize rafting and kayak trips. If you prefer paddling in the group, rafting is the perfect choice.

7. FISHING ON THE SAVINJA RIVER AND VELENJE LAKES

"The Savinja river is a typical alpine river with a lot of riffles, pockets, deep pools and dams. Since the water is very clean, the river is very rich with water fauna. There are two fishing clubs at the Savinja Valley that provide permits and will help you with the choice of the perfect spot.
