(public company for waste management) with the Ordinance on Management Concession (OG RS, no. 1/17).

The trunks of old deciduous trees in Tivoli Park are habitat of the protected hermit beetle (Osmoderma eremita); both the beetle and its habitat are protected. According to the EU Habitats Directive, this beetle is classified as a priority conservation species.

Mali Rožnik Nature Reserve is situated in the wet valley between the ridges of Mali and Veliki Rakovnik northwest of the peak of Rožnik. This small marsh is characterized by numerous palustrine plants, alder stands, and water surfaces covered with sedge, peat and, in the lower part of the valley, a peat bog.
Nature Reserve Mostec (the transient marsh) is located in the lower part of the Mostec wet valley at the foot of Debeli hrib. It is considered a relict locality of marsh plants. Of particular interest here are the buckbean (Menyanthes trifoliata), bog-sedge (Carex limosa), Viola uliginosa, round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia), common cranberry (Oxycoccus palustris) and water horsetail (Equisetum fluviatile).

Tivoli is the central, the most beautiful and eminent park in Ljubljana, forming – together with Rožnik and Šiška Hill – a 459 ha large landscape park. The uniqueness of this area has already been recognised by our ancestors and given to future generations as a place for leisure activities in nature. The larger part of the landscape park is covered with forest – the green heart of the city and an area with considerable biodiversity, complemented by a rich cultural heritage. Several sights and attractions can be found inside the landscape park: Tivoli Park – a typical city park and one of the most significant green areas in Ljubljana, Plečnik Promenade – a park trait is one of Plečnik’s most significant works. Cekin Mansion – a baroque mansion built between 1752 and 1755. Today, the Cekin Mansion houses the National Museum of Contemporary History.
The Swiss House – it was build in 1835 as a place of gathering for the German-speaking elite from Ljubljana. Due to its specific architecture, the inn was similar to an alpine house, and was therefore named “Švicarija” – the Swiss House. In 2013, the Švicarija was given a status of a cultural monument of local importance. A complete renovation ended in 2017. During its vibrant history, the Švicarija has always been a popular inn, café and hotel, as well as the venue for rich cultural and social events.
