The latter embraces a large part of the Julian Alps, and you can watch about 120 bird species in it.

THE TREASURE OF ZOISY THE DWARF
The Alpine botanical garden Juliana is situated in the heart of Triglav National Park and co-celebrates the 100th anniversary of the first protected area in Slovenian territory – the Alpine Conservation Park. The centennial celebration is taking place under the slogan "Conservation is existence". Admiring and protecting nature starts with children. This is the reason why we are inviting particularly families to visit Zoisy the Dwarf in Juliana and discover some special features from the world of plants and animals together with him. If children will respect and cherish nature already at this age, they will protect it as adults, too. Aided by a map, families will search for the treasure of Zoisy the Dwarf, with correctly solved tasks leading them to a chest with a sweet surprise.

WW1 OUTDOOR MUSEUM KOLOVRAT - A VIEW OVER THE FRONT
The Kolovrat ridge rises above the Soča Valley and offers exceptional views over the emerald river, the Julian Alps, Venezia-Giulia, the Friuli lowland and the Adriatic Sea.
Today, we can enjoy the peace of unspoiled nature here, while during World War I the Kolovrat had to witness the destructive Isonzo Front. In the outdoor museum we are going to explore the onetime Italian line of defence with the preserved command posts, shooting positions, a network of trenches and caves with the impressive spiral stairs in one of them. This formerly crucial line of division is nowadays a symbol of the unifying power of remembrance, since we shall walk on both territories, the Italian and the Slovenian, while discovering the history of WW1.
