Published 11 Mar 2020

The Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy, the managing authority for the European Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund, issued a decision on support for the project "Regulation of the Natura 2000 Information Center in the Karst". The European Regional Development Fund will contribute 688,000 to the implementation of the 873,000 project.

The Natura 2000 information center in the Karst will be arranged in the castle of tanjel, which will show the use of the Karst throughout history (including archeology, sites, ethnology). Changes in Karst overgrowth through the history of human settlement and the impact of human activity on biodiversity will be interpreted. In addition, the center will have an educational and educational part with an invitation to nature, highlighting the importance of habitat conservation and the role of farming in the Karst. The project will thus make an important contribution to the popularization of cultural heritage and nature in the castle of tanjel.

The contents in tanjel will be supplemented and upgraded by the center, which will be arranged by the Skocjan Caves Park at the other end of the Karst. Together they will represent a whole that will present Karst in a comprehensive and multifaceted manner.

The project for the restoration of the castle in tanjel, led by the Municipality of Komen, is complementary to the project "Ensuring the appropriate use of karst grasslands and habitats for the conservation of selected habitat types and species in the Natura 2000 - Karst" area, which is under the care of the kocjan Caves Public Institute.
