Activities of the NP are closely focused on issues of sustainable development, particularly integrating the concept of sustainable development into education of children and public as well. Within the UN Decade of education for sustainable development, the park has accredited projects such as junior ranger or ecological footprint. Ecological footprint is a big labyrinth in the shape of a foot. Each person who enters the labyrinth will get out of it only if he correctly answers the questions about sustainable way of life that are placed in tables all over the labyrinth. It’s a very nice way how to introduce the issue to people who have never heard about it. Interesting way to educate children and public about their personal impact on the capacity of planet is a footprint calculator which is shown by the guide during the presenation to visitors and everyone can count thein contribution. The national park itself was accredited by Austrian ecolabel which means that its activities are sustainable and nature friendly. Advanced visitor management is responsible to keep enaugh space for plants and wildlife using pictures of local protected bird with his youngsters, we think it’s a very effective way to alert the tourists.

Advanced visitor management is responsible to keep enough space for plants and wildlife using pictures of a locally protected bird with its youngsters - we think it’s a very effective way to alert tourists.

We would appreciate if the excursion was less theoretic. The presentation was really interesting and gave us all important information but due to a lack of time and rainy weather, we missed the chance to take a walk in nature to personally witness its beuty. However, the high mountains all around were trully breathtaking.

Despide the fact, that park is visited by a considerable number of international visitors, the most interesting interactive and educative attractions are only in German. On the other hand, we appreciate leaflets in different foreign languages including Czech.
