Pivka, August 2021; We represent the world of large carnivores using cutting-edge technologies.

In the midst of summer, an interactive display of the life of large carnivores was opened in Pivka, with whom the locals had always coexisted. With the latest technology and the excellent implementation of professional content, visitors can learn about the biology and ecology of the large carnivores of the Dinaric Karst area and the basic characteristics of the bear, lynx and wolf. The interpretation is based particularly on modern technologies, which allow visitors to explore the content independently. The Dina Large Carnivores Centre was created within the framework of the Carnivora Dinarica project.

The exhibition encourages the experience through the latest in-depth technologies, including virtual and augmented reality at 10 different multimedia points. Virtual reality equipment such as VR goggles enable visitors to have a better understanding of the world of large carnivores.

The Zverbook is a modern way of presenting how bears, lynxes, and wolves communicate with each other in a contemporary and visitor-friendly manner. The cave, which resembles a cinema, demonstrates the characteristics of large carnivores and their habitat, as well as the problems they may cause to humans. Through virtual reality, which visitors experience with VR glasses, they can determine, for example, whether the bear’s sense of smell is better or poorer than that of a lynx. There is also a quiz and a search for animal tracks in a magical forest.
