Additional bathing water quality checks

The Municipality of Kranj continues monitoring the quality of natural swimming waters after initial analyses showed varying conditions at three popular locations this year. While Čukov bajer and Kokra near Kosorje are suitable for swimming based on June measurements, swimming at Savsko otoček was discouraged due to contamination caused by heavy rainfall and increased surface runoff. The municipality explains this was a short-term effect of weather conditions before sample collection. Due to recent resident inquiries about water quality in the Kokra River, the municipality has decided to conduct additional testing at the wooden bridge in the canyon area of Kokra during their resampling of the Savsko otoček site. Results are expected to be known within the week. National Laboratory for Health, Environment and Food typically conducts twice-yearly sampling of natural swimming waters, but the municipality notes that water quality in rivers and lakes can change rapidly due to rainfall, water levels, and other natural factors.

Recent water quality analyses have confirmed that the Sava River at Savski Most, Kokra, and Čukov Bajer in Kranj are suitable for swimming. Initial tests in June had temporarily restricted swimming at Savski Most due to elevated bacteria levels, but follow-up tests conducted on July 7th by the Municipality of Kranj showed that bacterial limits were not exceeded. The water quality at Kokra near the wooden bridge was also found to meet health recommendations. Officials warn that natural water quality can vary with weather conditions and advise individuals to make their own decisions regarding swimming.

The article reports on recent water quality analyses conducted by the Municipality of Kranj regarding natural swimming areas in the area. Initial tests at the end of June 2026 indicated that both Čukov Bajer and Kokra near Kosorep were suitable for swimming, while the waters of the Sava River near Savski Otok were deemed unsuitable due to contamination. Following this, the municipality ordered a second test on the Sava River, which revealed that the pollution was caused by short-term effects of heavy rainfall. The latest results show that the water quality at the Sava River has improved and is now considered suitable for swimming. Additionally, the municipality conducted further testing at the wooden bridge in the canyon area after receiving questions from residents about the water quality in the Kokra river. These additional tests confirmed that the water meets the recommended standards for swimming.

During hot days, lakes, rivers, and seas are filled with visitors. In Slovenia, swimming is allowed everywhere unless explicitly prohibited. However, 49 areas on rivers, lakes, and the sea have a special 'swimming water' status, meaning their water quality is checked. Some areas, like Krimsko or Podpeško Lake, do not have this status, but the local municipality of Brezovica still ensures visitor safety by maintaining access points, steps, and lawns. Water instructors warn that cold rivers, strong currents, rocks, artificial dams, rapids, and vegetation pose dangers. They advise swimmers to stay in calmer sections of rivers. If someone is trapped in the water, rescuers recommend trying to guide them first, using a long pole if possible, and calling emergency services at 112.

The article discusses natural swimming areas in Slovenia during the summer season, highlighting 17 managed natural bathing sites with safety measures and water quality monitoring. It notes that these locations offer cooler temperatures compared to the Adriatic Sea, making them ideal for refreshing swims. The National Laboratory for Health, Environment, and Food conducts biweekly water sampling from June 15 to August 31, providing real-time data through an interactive map. Specific locations like the upper Soča River, Nadiža River, and Lake Bled are highlighted for their excellent water quality and comfortable temperatures. While some lakes like Bled and Bohinjsko Jezero reach higher temperatures, they still provide pleasant conditions. Unmanaged areas exist but are less regulated, though local municipalities sometimes conduct their own water quality checks, such as at Velence Lake, which has been recognized as one of Slovenia’s best natural bathing sites.
