The springs form a picturesque natural amphitheatre with emerald pools and small waterfalls, making it one of the most scenic water sources in Slovenia. There are seven permanent springs and at least as many temporary ones – together they form the famous delta-shaped riverhead, a unique phenomenon in Europe. The area is easily accessible and popular for walks, photography, and learning about karst hydrology, as it clearly demonstrates how underground water resurfaces in the Dinaric Karst. - Natural spring pools - Walking paths - Information boards - Rest areas - Photography viewpoints [ Visit Website ](https://www.vipavskadolina.si/en/odkrivaj/dediscina/narava/naravne-vrednote/izvir-vipave) ![Image of Monument of peace Cerje](https://wch.erps.si/resized/storage/venues/600w_monument-of-peace-cerje-a4658608.jpg) ### Monument of peace Cerje Peace Monument Panoramic Views Cultural Heritage Memorial Cerje, Miren-Kostanjevica, Slovenia The Monument of peace Cerje is a monumental architectural structure dedicated to peace and remembrance of all victims of wars, located on a hill above the Karst plateau with sweeping views of the Vipava Valley, the Adriatic Sea and the Alps.
