Within the Terme Lipik Project, this week marked the beginning of the works on the restoration of the landscaped public garden which will completely change the look of the town.
The first working session with all the participants was held: representatives of the Town of Lipik and Lipik Spa, as well as representatives of supervision and contractors and the Institution for the Management of Protected Areas of Požega-Slavonia County. After the session, the participants toured the terrain, and then agreed on the work schedule and the sequence of works with the contractors.
With time, the works will intensify, and one of the first tasks is the removal of damaged trees. The beginning of the works symbolically started at the sports field “U žici” (In the wire), where the construction of a new tennis court with all the accompanying facilities is also planned.
The Terme Lipik Project has three infrastructure components: The Interpretation Centre Zinke Villa, Public Baths and Spa Garden.
