This is why in the past month we took notice of increased intentional disappearance of stones from nearby walls in Škocjan village. It is possible that they are been thrown in the Okroglica abyss. The other possibility is that they are stolen to use them in construction works on other locations. However, this leads to destruction of private property, destruction of national settlement cultural monument, potentially endanger nesting birds and nevertheless potentially endanger the safety of our visitors as well. Therefore, we call upon potential eyewitnesses to try to prevent this kind of doings and/or report them to the Park’s stuff. In addition, we call upon visitors and/or locals who are kin on this behavior to stop with it.
Thank you for your understanding.
