Dům přírody Litovelského Pomoraví, Nature education center in Horka nad Moravou, Czech Republic
The Nature House of Litovelske Pomoravie is an education center in a modern building with large glass panels that connect interior spaces with the forest of the protected landscape. Inside, visitors find interactive displays and exhibits that explain the local ecosystem.
Sluňákov was founded in 2006 by the city of Olomouc as a public benefit organisation, and its low-energy building in Horka nad Moravou was designed by Projektil Architekti and won the Grand Prix architektů 2007. The centre continues earlier activities, notably the Ekologické dny Olomouc festival, held annually since 1990.
The center displays exhibitions about local wildlife and regional nature traditions, connecting visitor knowledge with community customs. Workshops here help people understand how their surroundings shape daily life.
The center offers guided tours in multiple languages that give visitors detailed insights into the local ecosystem. The interactive displays allow people to explore and understand the wildlife and nature of the region at their own pace.
The building uses sustainable materials and natural ventilation systems to minimize its environmental impact on the protected area. This eco-friendly design demonstrates how education facilities can be integrated into sensitive landscapes without harm.
