The Pasja ravan radar is located on the border between the municipalities of Dobova-Polhov Gradec, Gorenja Vas-Poljane, and Škofja Loka. Construction began in autumn 2013. It became operational on 16 May 2014.
The radar system at Pasja ravan is mounted on a 20-metre tower. Together with the radar at Lisca, it effectively monitors the intensity and movement of rainfall events. The data obtained are crucial for very short-term forecasting of extreme weather events accompanied by high rainfall, which usually leads to flooding.

Excursion 2: Phenological Park

The International Phenological Garden Ljubljana is one of the oldest phenological gardens in Europe. The first trees were planted in 1959 and the first phenological observations began in 1962.
From the very beginning, the International Phenological Garden Ljubljana has been a part of the international network of phenological gardens, which was founded on the initiative of the World Meteorological Organization.
Trees with a special feature grow in these international phenological gardens. All trees were propagated by cloning and have the same genetic information, and thus enables easier comparison and study of the influence of climatic factors on these plants over a wider geographical area.
The park is planted with deciduous and coniferous trees and shrubs that are considered autochthonous European vegetation.
Monitoring of phenological phases and professional care of the Phenological Garden Ljubljana are carried out by the Slovenian Environment Agency.
