Bistrica: majhna reka, velika zgodba
Within the medieval ruins of the town of Podsreda, the Bistrica river has been presented as more than a watercourse—it serves as a narrative about nature, people, agriculture, legends, and the future of the Kozjansko region. The exhibition emerged from the European project titled “I love (r)iver,” which linked partners from Slovenia and Italy. Organisers emphasized themes of natural heritage, local self‑sufficiency, and sustainable rural development. Visitors are guided through the history of one of eastern Slovenia's best‑preserved rivers, which has shaped local life for centuries. The display illustrates how the river has influenced farming practices and community identity. It also seeks to inspire imagination among residents about the river's role in upcoming generations.
V grajskih kaščah Gradu Podsreda je reka Bistrica dobila svoj dom. Ne v obliki vodnega toka, temveč kot zgodba o naravi, ljudeh, kmetijstvu, legendah in prihodnosti Kozjanskega. Razstava je nastala v okviru evropskega projekta Rad imam (r)eko, ki je povezal partnerje iz Slovenije in Italije ter v ospredje postavil naravo, lokalno samooskrbo in trajnostni razvoj podeželja. Obiskovalcem pripoveduje zgodbo ene najbolj ohranjenih rek vzhodne Slovenije, ki že stoletja oblikuje življenje tamkajšnjih krajev in buri domišljijo lokalnih prebivalcev.
