Installation of a gate at the entry to the speleological structure Pit opposite Torak
Within Krka National Park, the pit opposite Torak Lake is one of seven speleological structures that is monitored as a target habitat type of the Natura 2000 ecological network as: Caves and pits closed to the public (8310)
The habitat conditions in the pit and its aboveground areas and direct vicinity are favourable. Installation of a gate will enable supervision of all entrances into the pit area. The aim is to preserve the favourable hydromorphological conditions and water quality in the pit, so as to conserve stable populations of the cave’s aquatic fauna: the target species olm (the old (Proteus anguinus),) and populations of the Dinaric cave tube worm (Marifugia cavatica), aquatic isopod species Sphaeromides virei mediodalmatina and cave species of freshwater shrimp (Troglocaris sp).
The pit opposite Torak Lake is under regular monitoring of the habitat condition and state of the population of these subterranean species, and permanent measurement instruments have been installed to measure temperature and water levels.
