Water, an indispensable element of life is inseparably linked with our well-being. During the previous summer, the Slovenian Tourist Board captivated audiences by spotlighting the multiple world record holder in freediving, Alenka Artnik, who embodies the essence of a mermaid, defying limits by delving into the ocean depths without the aid of scuba gear. Though this year's theme (Water for Peace) might at first sight not be directly connected with Artnik's story, her lifelong bond with the sea serves as both inspiration and strength and a proof that water not only fosters harmony, prosperity and resilience but also cultivates inner peace.

Watch the video below and discover, how the calming sea rejuvenates her spirit, while meditation amidst fragrant pine trees nourishes her soul and enhances her athletic prowess. Discover how she finds true rest only upon returning to her Slovenian home, where the diverse chemical compositions of thermal springs aid athlete recovery, alleviate medical conditions and promote overall health and well-being.
