| This
big dump for all kinds of garbage is located in a ravine immediately
under a natural spring that was in 1985. turned into a water source
for part of the village. People hav been using this water for 20
years in their homes, some even drink it, and the surrounding area
is used as a garbage dump. Irresponsible weekenders also
contribute to it with small things, bottles and old oil drums, but
irresponsible villagers throw washing machines, stoves... which they
bring there on their tractors. UNBELIVEABLE, DISGRACEFULLL BUT TRUE. |

The ravine is
located right under a narrow tractor trail and access to a larger
vehicle with a crane or grabber, which would clean the dump up is
almost impossible. It's too steep and some of the pices are too
heavy to clean by hand. The pile, sadly, continues to grow and
mostly it's biologically undegradable garbage. |

Old
car wrecks "pop up" everywhere, even in inaccessible
locations. It is unclear how they even got there. This one is
located under the car park for the hiker house Vugrovec, which is
the eastern start for the Sljeme Hiker's Transverse, that is, trail
nr. 1. |

Unused
building material is left everywhere. Weekenders take the led in
that department, especially those that abandoned their plot or
aren't coming any more. |
Forest workers, after
they complete their work, leave their garbage (motor oil canisters,
cans from their lunch, plastic bottles. |
|
Sadly, hikers, who
should be more eco friendly, also throw garbage along the trails:
cigarette boxes, candy wrapers, glass and plastic bottles. 2-3 times
a year my family, during our walks, picks it all up and we take it
into containers in Sesvete. In every 2 hour walk the few of us
collect 2 full large bags of such garbage. A
special problem are unknown young people that drive to a crossroad
above the village and to the parking lot for the hiker's house.
After their nightly drinking parties they throw about lots of beer
bottles and other garbage everywhere around them.
It is completely
unclear why it isn't such a problem to bring full packages with the
into nature, but it is so much of a problem to take the empty ones
back out to the first garbage can !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
