Croatia - DAY 2

''Our Heritage is Our Tresure'' team visited Međimurska priroda (Nature of Međimurje) institution in Križovec. The institution is responsible for protecting, maintaining and promoting the protected area in the Medjimurje County with the aim to protect and preserve authentic environment, as well as to ensure natural processes proceed undisturbed and to enable sustainable use of natural resources.





Mura-Drava Regional Park
We also explored the beauty of Mura-Drava Regional Park with ecological features of international and national importance and enjoyed the nature. Mura-Drava Regional Park is special in many ways. It extends through five Croatian counties, following the border of the Mura and Drava Rivers, and it is part of one of the most important European river ecosystems: the floodplain of the Drava, Mura and Danube Rivers. Thus it is also a part of UNESCO’s biggest planned future unique river transboundary biosphere reserve in Europe, which will run through several countries.






Mill on the Mura
The river Mura turns the impressive wooden waterwheel near a small village called Žabnik, at the northernmost point of Croatia. It represents a unique example of traditional architectural heritage in Croatia and beyond. Visitors can also enjoy the river ferry - a vessel that moves like perpetuum mobile and takes people and vehicles from one river bank to another, but without engine, sails or paddles.







After lunch at the Terbotz restaurant in Štrigova, teachers participated in photography workshop held by teacher Davor Žerjav while pupils worked on illustrating ''Protuletje se otpira'' song.
