Get to know the unique natural values of the Radeče municipality

In the center, you can virtually experience natural values through film and learn about the rich history of the area. Primarily, of course, the natural features of the Radeče municipality. 

Did you know that mighty cave bears roamed these places millennia ago? Traces of that time are safely stored in the interpretation center. You can also find interesting things here, such as that Gašper's chestnut, the thickest home-grown chestnut and at the same time the thickest tree in Slovenia, reigns in the municipality of Radeška. Ste vedeli, da so se v teh krajih tisočletja nazaj sprehajali mogočni jamski medvedi? Sledi tistega časa so varno shranjene v interpretacijskem centru. Prav tako tu najdete zanimivosti kot je ta, da v radeški občini kraljuje Gašperjev kostanj, najdebelejši domači kostanj in obenem najdebelejše drevo v Sloveniji.

Center ponuja tudi možnost, da podrobneje spoznate nekatere naravne posebneže, ki so v svojem naravnem okolju tako redki in ogroženi, da so njihova rastišča skrivnost. S tem center pomembno doprinese k varovanju naravne dediščine ter k višanju čuta odgovornosti pri ravnanju z okoljem.

Pred vhodom v Interpretacijski center naravnih vrednot si je možno ogledati repliko gozdnega vozička, s katerim so nekoč iz gozdov Jatne v dolino po gozdni železnici spravljali les.
