Forest pedagogues from Levice brought them the forest and informed their prepared forest schools of the realized cross-border project. Through various entertaining activities and competitions, they could test their knowledge about fauna and flora.
Approximately 90 children from the Hungarian and Slovak borderlands visited the Žuhračka chalet on 21 May 2019 as part of the “Children's Hubert” activity.

Everything to raise awareness of the natural and cultural heritage of the Levice cross-border region.
