Interpretation of nature
Drava Natura 2000
The nature interpretation plan in the Natura 2000 Drava area was created in the process of cross-sectoral cooperation of experts and local stakeholders and represents a comprehensive concept and the basis for targeted planning of quality interpretation of nature in the Natura 2000 area along the Drava river. The interpretation of direct project activities, addressed species and biotic diversity of the Natura 2000 Drava area is concentrated along the Drava and the Drava cycle path.
INTERPRETATION UNITS
The interpretation of direct project activities, addressed species and biotic diversity of the Natura 2000 Drava area is concentrated along the Drava and the Drava cycle path.
With the entire plan, they want to qualitatively interpret and emphasize the importance of naturally preserved dynamic rivers, the Drava River and its natural processes, as well as the related biodiversity. At the same time, they want to shed light on the effects of human interference in the river space and the positive effects of man's prudent handling of the space. Visitors will be introduced to nature and 4 habitat types and 11 plant and animal species, the river and riparian ecosystem of the Drava River and its changes throughout history with interpretation units.
The interpretation is carried out with different interpretation units: interpretation points, interpretation polygons with innovative information and interpretation boards, educational paths with viewing and observation points and a rest area and information centers are established. Visiting the interpretation units is free for visitors.

EXHIBITION zDRAVO
The exhibition zDRAVO at Borl Castle emphasizes that the Drava River is extremely important for people's lives, with its dynamics and processes it shapes their lives and creates diverse living environments with a great variety of plant and animal species.
That is why we present the river and life along it in five sections:
A river is flowing water,
River designer,
When the river flow calms down,
The river overflows its banks,
The river is also under our feet.
Inside each of them, we shed light on river processes, present plant and animal species and their habitats, then show what the river has to offer, remind that the river is under threat and invite us to take action together! Zlatko Šoder accompanies us through the exhibition.
ZLATKO ŠODER
Visitors will get to know a unique guide - Zlatko Šodra, who guides viewers along the Drava River by describing the interesting and special features of the Drava River and life in and along it in a sympathetic way.
Zlatko Šoder is the personified Drava pebble, an atypical modern-day teenager, golden-haired, a little round (pebble) boy who prefers to spend his time in nature rather than on a tablet. He is a lover of nature and the Drava River and everything related to it. He is proud of his name and likes to point out that he and Drava are on you.
Zlatko knows the Drava and its nature intimately, but she also knows where viewers can find out more; in centers, on learning paths and on interesting playgrounds that describe the Drava and its nature.
