spatial plans (lokacijski načrt or LN) and a regulatory plan (ureditveni načrt
or UN) prior to the enactment of the Spatial Planning Act in 2007; for some
examples: Šmartinsko Lake, the Lipica Stud Farm (phase 1) and Škocjanski
zatok Nature Reserve. Work is in progress for NSP Lipica Stud Farm (phase
2) and the area of Celje Hut (Insight into the procedures for the preparation
of state spatial planning acts, 2019).
Within the spatial plan for Škocjanski zatok Nature Reserve (Ordinance
on the regulatory plan for the area of the Škocjanski zatok Nature Reserve,
2002), plans were made for restorations, observatories, a visitor centre, and
trails (Vidmar, 2004). More than 2 km of circular trail was constructed,
laid out along the border of the freshwater part of the reserve. The trail
starts from the visitor centre, which is located in the easternmost part of
the reserve. The visitor centre was opened in March 2016 (Fig. 2) and ponds
of various shapes and sizes were created along its length, which were quick-
ly settled by invertebrates and amphibians. Furthermore, these ponds serve
as models that help visitors get a closer look at the life in the marsh. The
material excavated during the creation of the freshwater marsh was used to
construct screening embankments along the newly-formed circular trail,
