Responsible behavior in nature

When visiting the Lovrenška Lakes, it’s important to follow a few basic guidelines to ensure the area remains pristine:

• Stay on designated paths: This prevents unnecessary disruption of natural habitats. Even what seems like an insignificant step off the path can have lasting impacts on plants and wildlife.
• Do not pick plants or disturb animals: The Lovrenška Lakes are home to many rare species, such as the white water lily that adorns the lakes. Observe them from a distance and photograph them, but do not touch or take them.
• Clean up after yourself: Any waste can severely impact the sensitive ecosystem, so make sure to leave nothing behind but your footprints on the designated paths.
