Utilization of good practice of torrent control in recreational education in the Veľká Fatra National Park

Mariana Jakubisová, Matúš Jakubis

In the article we present the possibility of using an example of good practice of torrent control in recreational and leisure education of the public and university students. For this purpose, we chose the torrent control Jelenec in the Hornojelenecká valley in the Veľká Fatra National Park. Hornojelenecká valley is one of the most beautiful and most visited recreational locations in the Veľká Fatra National Park. This valley forms a natural watershed of the Jelenec torrent with a historical torrent control, which was established in 1926-27 and has reliably fulfilled its function for 95 years. Based on field measurements, we analyzed the runoff characteristics of the watershed and the discharge characteristics of the torrent in an effort to present the results of research in recreational tourism and university education. The main goal is to raise awareness among the general public about the importance of integrated forestry measures to protect the landscape from flash floods and erosion in recreational education. We evaluated the capacities of flow profiles in relation to T-year discharges and the functionality of various types of transverse objects. On the information boards, we explained the implemented solutions from a technical, ecological and environmental point of view.
