There are rare places in the Balkans where school directors can quietly lock the doors of their educational institutions and bring all their children, teachers and staff, knowing that they will spend the day worry-free, in nature, and have an educational character.
The beautiful ‘Archeological and Tourist Park Ravne 2’ in Visoko, managed by the non-profit ‘Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun’ Foundation, is one such unique space. Absolutely safe, no traffic, no noise, no danger. It is fully decorated and clean. Trash cans are densely set up. Water and toilets at your fingertips. Streams, meadows, concert stages, botanical gardens, playgrounds, recreational trails, climbing trees for the more skilful. There are stone circles, labyrinths, Summer House, the Green Crystal Pyramid for relaxation and meditation.
The Foundation insists on providing everyone with FREE access to the park. Also, parking and amenities are free of charge. It is the wish of the Foundation to provide the pleasure of visiting and enjoying the installations and landscaped nature to as many visitors as possible from Bosnia and the world.
A walk from the park to the pedestrian zone, about a hundred meters away, is followed by the entrance to the mysterious, prehistoric underground tunnels of Ravne, accompanied by the Foundation’s trained and kind guides. There is also a Gift Shop Alley, juices, ice cream, polenta and pies, coffee and ice cream can be bought in front of the tunnel.
From February to June 2019, 47 schools from Bosnia visited the park.
Visits continue in September and October 2019. Recommendation is the most powerful means of promotion. Headmaster of ‘Hasan Kikic’ Elementary School, who brought in his 380 students and all teachers on October 1, 2019, announces a new spring 2020 visit and a recommendation to his colleagues in Sarajevo and across Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Is there anything more beautiful than a children’s smile?
