Educational trail "Man and river"

Regarding the Međimurje Day of the Mura River, on the anniversary of the declaration of protection of the Important Landscape of the Mura River on April 18, 2023, a new educational trail was opened in Križovec.

The trail takes us back to the past when cattle grazed along the Mura and coal was mined. It introduces us to the current and past ecosystem services and prepares us for the future, which will only exist if the coexistence of nature and people is strengthened. The appearance of Mura today reflects the traditions and values of past generations.

The author of the trail is Mateja Horvat from Čakovec, and it was designed as part of her graduation thesis defended in February 2023 at the Department of Geography, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb under the mentorship of prof. Ph.D. Nenad Buzjak and Ph.D. Mihaela Mesarić.
