vegetation. Here is a natural reserve with a rich supply of marl and
sandstone and the unique Strunjan cliff which ascends 80 metres above the
sea and is the highest flysch wall on the Adriatic coast. Here are the
Secovlje saltworks, first mentioned in the 13th century. Due to their
extremely abundant natural and historical heritage they were named a
regional park and are a rich sanctuary of plant and animal worlds.
Mysterious Karst
It is ’’the fault’’ of limestone and water that the Karst has two faces –
one above and one under its surface. At the surface they create karst
sinkholes, karren, springs, karst windows and poljes (Planinsko, Cerkniško
polje), and under the surface there are numerous potholes and karst caves –
it is said that the Slovene Karst is the most beautiful part of our planet’s
underground world. In Slovenia there are more than one thousand karst caves
and potholes, 20 treasures of limestone masterpieces by disappearing karst
waters are opened for tourists.
