The aquaprad Visitor Centre in Prad/Prato allo Stelvio

The aquaprad Visitor Centre is located in the village centre of Prad am Stilfserjoch/Prato allo Stelvio in the National Park Region

It is no coincidence that Prad was chosen as the location for this visitor centre dedicated to the aquatic world: the Suldenbach stream forms the only undeveloped river delta in South Tyrol here near the village and still exhibits natural flow dynamics. In the large lake aquarium of the visitor centre, the habitat of the lowland lake with its biocoenosis and food chain has been recreated. The almost complete fish fauna of South Tyrol from the headwater stream to the lowland lake is shown in lifelike aquariums.
