New Information Office and Regional Product Shop at Kozjansko Park

The new information office and regional product shop opened in Trebče on Youth Day, 25 May 2008. It will serve to promote the Kozjansko Park and to promote and sell products from the protected area. The information & sales point will be located on the Kolar Farm near the fishpond in Trebče. The house, where Josip Broz Tito's aunt, Ana Kolar, once lived, had been a shop before. In the period between the wars Ana Kolar and her husband Karel used to sell tobacco there, an additional source of income. The idea to sell regional products, created according to craft and eco-farming traditions of the Kozjansko Park, has been growing for quite some time. The new information & sales point will contribute to wider recognition of special local products, increase sales in the region and fulfil the wishes of visitors. To create quality, innovative and sustainable products it is necessary to combine common interests of the local population, park administration policies, and possibilities on the home and international markets. The park's population will also benefit from the new information & sales point: the “new old” traditions (eco-farming, traditional arts and crafts, heritage, preserved nature, tourism) can bring quality life and financial safety.
