Project summary:
Natural values Lake Bohinj and Krn - moraine in the area of Triglav National Park (TNP) are visited by many tourists due to the attraction of their preserved nature. This is positive for local economic development; however, non-sustainable car mobility of visitors, especially in the summer season, endangers their nature. The objective of the project is to expand possibilities and increase attraction of visiting all included natural values and TNP, respectively, by various modes of soft mobility (walking and biking, public transport), enhance the understanding of visitors about the impact of motor traffic on nature, and reduce car traffic load of nature values included.

The partnership between organizations from different parts of Slovenia will also enable expansion of ideas, connect the areas and crate new links.
