Visitor centre

The visitor centre, located in a single-story building with a flat green roof, has a well-equipped multimedia hall and a basement with a hatchery of soft-mouth trout, affectionately known as “solinka”, a protected endemic species. In the centre’s multimedia hall, there is a Kids Corner, with interactive content adapted to children’s education, as well as the projection of a documentary film and applications intended for adults about ecology, nature conservation and the Jadro River itself. Green technology applications have also been installed in the centre, which, in addition to the educational content, also have the purpose of protecting the environment. Namely, modern technology enables the monitoring of the number of visitors in order to prevent overcrowding of the area and endangering the flora and fauna of the Jadro River surroundings. A tactile path leads from the orientation panel at the entrance of the excursion site to the visitor centre, which allows easier access for visually impaired people, while people with reduced mobility can access all facilities with the help of a wheelchair lift platform.

 

Softmouth trout hatchery

Given that the soft-mouth trout is an endangered species, the existence of an artificial hatchery contributes significantly to efforts to preserve this endemic species. Just before spawning, which takes place in February and March, the mother fish are fished out of the river and placed in pools that, with natural substrate and plants, imitate a natural habitat. Trout are kept through all developmental stages of fry, from fertilized eggs to young fish when they are returned to the river. Visitors in smaller groups can see the entire development process with a presentation of spawning and soft-mouth trout in general.

 

Interpretation centre

The existing bunker from the Second World War has been converted into a soft-mouth trout interpretation centre. On the walls, there are information panels about the solinka, and a tactile exhibit that simulates a trout. There is also a multitouch table with a display of the course of the Jadro River and interactive applications. In the dome of the bunker there is a special immersive space with a nature periscope and a “walk on water” installation.

 

External contents

“Knowledge platforms”

As parts of a mosaic that contain the complete story of the river, its region and its inhabitants, about the shared past and present, ten information panels, called “knowledge platforms” stretch along the educational trail within the excursion site. They contain educational texts and photos on the topics of natural, cultural and industrial heritage. 

 

Off-road panels

Imaginative panels, arranged around the excursion site and along the forest paths, tell a different and somewhat unusual history. They preserve from oblivion the warm and peculiar anecdotes and legends of the river and its neighbours, the locals from the surrounding settlements.
