On 29th October 2004 the Škocjan Caves Park, Slovenia, was included in the UNESCO – MAB World Network of Biosphere Reserves under the name of the Karst Biosphere Reserve. The area reveals the interdependance of man and nature and the importance of education to mantain the existing level of welfare.

Cultural heritage of the Karst Biosphere Reserve is composed of architectual and stonemasonry pieces of art; many of them have been renovated and brought to life again. Explorations unveil past-days records and enable us to gain the knowledge about and safeguard the heritage of our ancestors.
