Strong stormy wind and rain, between Monday and Tuesday, caused great material damage to the buildings in the National Park (NP) "Biogradska Gora".
As reported by that company, the objects of the souvenir shop, the hatchery, the visitor center, the physical protection service accommodation area, public toilets, as well as part of the infrastructure (benches, tables, road signs, educational panels...) were damaged.
"The high-voltage cables on the facilities of the Visitor Center and the accommodation of the physical protection service were broken. Although we moved everything that was prefabricated to our depots in time, before the start of winter, as every year, so that they would be ready for the summer tourist season , a large part of the infrastructure was completely destroyed in the onslaught of stormy weather and rain. Great damage was also caused to our infrastructure facilities that are at the service of visitors. The roof coverings were damaged, so the rain penetrated inside," said NP director Saša Jeknić.
According to him, many trees fell on the "educational path" around Lake Biograd. Fallen trees destroyed furniture and a bridge on the Biogradska river delta. As Jeknić says, in the coming days, before the snowfall, it is necessary to protect the buildings from further deterioration, and in the spring detailed renovation will begin.
"It will also be necessary to clear access roads and paths, that is, to remove large amounts of wood. The same should be done from Kraljevi kol to Lake Biograd, in order to establish traffic and allow tourists to visit when it snows, that is, during the announced winter arrangement. We ask all those who visit the National Park these days to be understanding about the works that will take place in that area," said Jeknić.
