Whispers of the Wild – The Secret Life of the Pivka Intermittent Lakes
Spend a few hours as a true nature explorer. In the company of a knowledgeable biologist, step into the world of the intermittent lakes and discover the remarkable plants that have adapted to the ever-changing conditions of wet meadows, dry lake basins and the karst underground.
In a guided tour of the Ecomuseum of the Pivka Intermittent Lakes, biologist Paul Veenvliet explains how these extraordinary lakes are formed and why they dry up. Once you’ve uncovered the secrets of this landscape, you’ll set off on a leisurely walk to Petelinje Lake. Along the way, you’ll discover wild herbs, rare flowers and small wonders of nature that most visitors simply walk past.
With a scientist as your guide, an ordinary walk becomes an immersive journey into the natural world. The experience is perfect for curious travellers, couples, families with children and anyone who wants to experience the Pivka Lakes in depth – through observation, stories and close contact with nature.
