At the beginning of October, MYP0 students went on a field trip to one of Slavonia’s favourite excursion sites – Papuk Nature Park, the first (and only) Croatian UNESCO Global Geopark.

During our trip, we explored the Park's key biological, geological, and cultural historical sites. Our adventure began at Duboka Adrenaline Park, where we engaged in a variety of sports activities. After lunch, we continued our exploration in Jankovac Forest Park, taking a guided walking tour along the Count’s Educational Trail. We discovered that the peaks of Papuk rise from the depths of the former Pannonian Sea, reaching nearly one thousand meters above sea level. Famous for its geological diversity, Papuk Nature Park contains features from almost every era of Earth's geological history within a relatively small area. The park is significant for its rich variety of rocks, a large number of minerals, fossils, and geological formations, and is protected for biological, geological, landscape, and cultural-historical valuables.

We not only had the chance to immerse ourselves in the breathtaking natural beauty, but also to deepen our understanding of the environment around us. The activities at Duboka Adrenaline Park energized us, and the guided tour sparked our curiosity about the geology and ecology.
