Children’s Activities
Educational Children’s Trail – Bunec
The children’s trail is an initiative of Mavrovo National Park for enriching the tourist offer with educational contents. The idea is to provide additional activities for the youngest visitors to the park for whom currently there are few interesting and suitable activities. In this way, Mavrovo National Park made an effort to organize children’s free time while their parents are relaxing, skiing, cycling or enjoying the walks in the National Park. The trail is also ideal for organizing school trips and classes in the nature. It is equipped with informative and educational boards containing information on the flora and fauna of Mavrovo. Here, the children will have an opportunity to solve puzzles and to learn more in specially planned games. Apart from the educational boards in three sizes, the trail is enriched with additional elements such as “a hotel for insects”, a xylophone, and a section for bird watching. Since the trail is part of the safari park Bunec, adult visitors can also enjoy the beauties of this wonderful place, where the park can organize walks and watching the Balkan deer, bird watching, etc.
For visiting the trail, call the Tourist Information Center in Mavrovi Anovi on tel. 042/489-425 and 042/489-019 to schedule a term for a visit.
