Awareness and visits
Info centre
The info centre at the Zupančič homestead was designed to inform the public about the ecological sensitivity of the black olm's habitat.
The centre combines exhibition content, field activities and collaboration with researchers monitoring the state of underground waters and the habitat.
Visitors and school groups learn about the cave world, animal adaptations to the subterranean environment and the impacts of human activity on karst systems.
Natural history day programmes include worksheets, workshops and content tailored to the needs of the group.
The info centre is not just an exhibition — it is a space where scientific data is translated into practical care for nature.
