The Municipality of Žirovnica has introduced a new parking regime with a desire to limit traffic in the Završnica valley, which is classified as a Natura 2000 area and provides an important source of drinking water. The previous traffic regime, which enabled free vehicle access to the valley and onwards towards the Valvasorjev dom mountain hut and Zelenica, caused problems for visitors, hikers, walkers and cyclists, however, it was nature itself that suffered the most – our forests, mountain pastures, meadows and all the animals that live in this area. Help us preserve nature!
