A space of constant change

The traditional agriculture has preserved the great biological and landscape diversity. The mosaic of different habitats is home to many plant and animal species, which are only rare elsewhere in Slovenia and Europe. The wet meadows, flooded waterside meadows and thousands of kilometers of drainage channels attract mainly moisture loving plants and animals. Ljubljansko barje is home to several hundred species of birds, numerous colorful butterflies, dragonflies and amphibians.

The interdependent ecosystems of Ljubljansko barje clean the air, water and soil, and cool the hot summers. It also enables relaxation and new discoveries in the immediate vicinity of the capital city, as well as sustainable production of quality healthy food and the development of environmentally friendly farming and green tourism.

But not only nature, the heritage is also exceptional. In this small piece of territory, several cultures have left their mark, from the prehistoric pile dwellers and ancient Romans, to the determined drainers of the marsh, which was supposed to become the granary of the Hapsburg Monarchy. Due to their interventions into the once typical marsh, today’s Ljubljansko barje is probably the most anthropogenically modified landscape in Slovenia. Although many have tried and are still trying to limit the extent and duration of floods through drainage, Ljubljansko barje is still one of the largest flooding areas in Slovenia.
