2013 is the UN International Year of Water Cooperation. Along the Mura River there are still wetlands which are not on the map of Ramsar protected sites of International Importance. For this purpose Tabrih NGO is organizing walks at Mura River since 2000. This year we will visit Mura near the area of the confluence with Kučnica River and at the Mura River extension in Sicheldorf at European Green Belt. Join us for a walk  along the Mura River with Nature interpreters and get to know the special benefits of the largest wetlands along the Mura River in middle Europe. With our walk we are sending a clear message that Mura River should remain free of dams for power stations as a part of a future  UNESCO Transboundary Biosphere Reserve Mura- Drava-Danube.
