The Ljubljana Marsh on the southern edge of the Ljubljana basin is today the largest continuous marsh and wet grassland in our country and one of the few in Europe. It is a reserve for numerous birds and other animal and plant species, such as the snake's head fritillary and the marsh tulip. Six thousand years ago, when there were small lakes here, the inhabitants of the time built their famous pile settlements here – the pile dwellings.
From the archaeological past of this area the dugout canoes, clay vessels and tools of bone and antler stand out above all. The landscape is enlivened by little woods of birch and Scots pine, the remains of the former raised bog and endless lines of trees When the mysterious bog mists clear, the meadow grasses can be seen swaying in the wind.Then the bushes and the tree crowns also come alive, where numerous birds have found their refuge, while the silence of the night is pierced by the calls of the frogs' wedding rites.
