The Butterfly Theme Trail in Motvarjevci leads through the area of well preserved wet meadows in the Goričko Nature Park. Colorful meadows are part of the cultural heritage of the park, created by man through his work. By changing the way of farming, the landscape is also changing. More and more meadows were turned into fields and the diversity of life that distinguishes meadows is diminishing. This is not the case in Motvarjevci. Meadows bloom profusely in the spring months and enchant visitors. Many animal species, including rare and protected ones, still find their home on these meadows.

Along the way, the most typical species of plants and butterflies are presented. Do you know how the marsh fritillary and the devils-bit are connected? Visitors get to know the interdependence of these two species and all living things in the meadows and in nature in general through information boards and various interesting challenges. Among the meadows, visitors can expect a special resting place, which is perfect for relaxing and experiencing nature with all senses.

Contents on the information boards are in Slovene and Hungarian Language. Visitors with visual impairments can access the content via QR codes, which lead visitors to content in English as well. A special feature of the theme-trail is also an information point with a touch board for visitors with visual impairments. The touch-picture presents the life cycle of the scarce large blue butterfly. 

Along the way, in the shade of trees, a red flat bark beetle is waiting for visitors. Do you know this beetle? Visit the theme-trail in Motvarjevci and you will get to know this interesting beetle and many more interesting stories from the life of animals and plants.
