GREEN POLITICS

International Green Key Ecolabel
​

Environmental / Sustainable Label The Green Key is the leading standard of excellence in environmental responsibility
and sustainable operation in the tourism industry.

The green key assures all guests that by choosing a certified tourist facility directly
help to protect the environment.

As bearers of this sign, we maintain high environmental standards, which we prove with the help of strict
documentation and frequent inspections.

 
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
​

We indulge in drinking water, but we pay attention to consumption

To maintain a satisfactory quality of life, a person consumes an average of 80 liters of drinking water per day. In Slovenia, we consume 130 to 200 liters of drinking water per household member per day. We use 2 to 8 liters of clean drinking water for just one flushing of the toilet, and the average Slovenian household uses 6 liters of drinking water per day for cooking.

​

​

We are proud to host you in an environment where water is drinkable!

In Slovenia we drink extremely clean and quality water! Just pour it on yourself, and cheers!

​

We diligently separate waste

Garbage is separated according to the instructions. Waste is always disposed of in appropriate containers and not in nature or in drains. The waste thus dumped pollutes groundwater and other sources of drinking water.

​

We try to take the garbage to separate containers.

 

We reduce the use of plastic

Plastic poses a great threat - both to the environment and to man himself. In Slovenia, we produced 1,18 million tons of municipal waste in 2024. 526 kg of municipal waste per capita. Every year, an individual in Slovenia consumes 100 to 300 plastic bags, which can only be used from a few minutes to an hour. As we produce more and more plastic in the world, and 6.4 million tons a year land in the environment, plastic particles and substances that invade animals and our bodies have a major impact on the quality of our health.

​

We try to avoid the use of plastic products
for one-time use.
 

We turn off the lights carefully

We use energy saving / LED lamps. We turn off the lights when we don't need them. This contributes to lower electricity consumption and environmental protection.

​

We enjoy the local wealth of natural and cultural heritage


The natural and cultural heritage is exceptional in our environment - visit, get to know; experience and taste them! Information on sights, experiences, gastronomy and customs can be found on our info point at the reception and on our smart TVs. In case you need additional information, you can contact our friendly staff.
 

We explore the area with environmentally friendly types of mobility

Our places are ideal for cycling and hiking. Every trip / tour you do by bike or on foot instead of by car is an environmentally friendly act. Have you ever thought about how very different we get to know a place if we visit it on foot or by bike? We really feel it, smell it, hear it up close.

We open up to the residents and make contact with them easier.

Only in this way can we truly understand the places and people we visit.
All information about bicycle rental options and cycling and hiking trails can be obtained from our employees and at the reception.
 

We take care of the economical use of detergents and water when washing

Hotels around the world use tons of detergents and millions of liters of water every day to wash towels and bedding that have been used only once.

Bed linen and towels are therefore changed every time guests change, or only if you explicitly wish to do so.

​
Thank you for helping us conserve the Earth’s most precious resources!

Swimming in a Natural Pool

Our biological pool is more than just a place to cool off – it's a living ecosystem, where water is naturally purified by aquatic plants, microorganisms, and sand filtration.
No chlorine, no chemicals – just clean, living water.

🌿

A special part of the pool – the regeneration zone – is planted with vegetation that ensures natural filtration and water balance.
These plants are essential to the system’s function, so please do not pick, step on, or disturb them.

An Experience You Won’t Find in Every Pool

🛟

Swimming in a natural pool is a unique privilege – an experience where body and nature connect.
To feel clean water without the smell of chemicals, to hear frogs and insects among the plants, to swim alongside aquatic vegetation and water lilies…
It’s a rare and special experience that deserves respect.

​

Let’s Preserve the Balance Together
​

With every visit, you can help maintain this delicate yet extraordinary system.
When we act respectfully – towards the water, the plants, the space, and other guests – we protect something that is much more than just a pool.

To help us preserve this beautiful natural pool​ We kindly ask you to follow these simple guidelines:
 

  • Please shower thoroughly before every swim – especially your feet and all parts of your body that come into contact with the water.

  • Enter the water barefoot and clean – clean skin helps keep the water clean.

  • Please avoid applying sunscreen, perfume, make-up or sprays immediately before swimming.

  • Remove grass, leaves, sand and other dirt from your feet and swimwear before entering the pool.

  • Food, drinks and glass are not permitted in the pool area.

  • Shoes and flip-flops are not allowed in the water, as they bring dirt and other impurities into the pool.

  • Please do not enter the biological regeneration zone – this is where plants and microorganisms naturally purify the water.

  • Please do not pick or damage the plants – they are our natural water filters.

  • Diving, jumping, balls, inflatable toys and other pool equipment are not suitable for a natural swimming pool, as they disturb the delicate ecosystem and reduce water clarity.

  • Please do not enter the pool if you have open wounds or a contagious illness.

  • Children under the age of 7 must always be supervised by a responsible adult. Swimming without adult supervision is not permitted.

  • Please help your children understand why these rules are important. By setting a good example, you help preserve this unique natural environment for everyone.
    ​

Every action matters!
 

  • Our natural swimming pool is more than just a place to cool off – it is a living ecosystem where plants, microorganisms and nature work together to keep the water crystal clear without chemicals.
     

  • Every jump, every drop of sunscreen, every bit of dirt on your feet or unnecessary disturbance of the water places additional stress on this delicate balance. Even small actions can have a significant impact.
     

  • Thank you for respecting nature and helping us protect one of Kolpa Resort's most unique features. Together, we can keep this extraordinary natural pool clean, healthy and enjoyable for today's guests and for future generations. 💚

Important Notice:
​

Water quality depends on your behavior and cleanliness when entering.
If contamination is detected or the water is deemed no longer suitable for swimming, we reserve the right to temporarily close the pool without prior notice.
