ABOUT THE SHOW
Old Mountain, aka Mountain Balkan, is an unrevealed heaven and a natural resource of great
importance. It abounds with enchanting places that seem to be the juncture of all the most beau-tiful
things in nature: crystal clear water, peculiar rocks shaped by water flowing unceasingly down their
sides, lush vegetation, exuberant rivers, grassy pastures, and marsh vegetation. There are lots of nature
reserve areas and natural monuments within the park itself. Its countless, hidden waterfalls add to its
enchantment. It is a place of unprecedented beauty—an oasis of silence and nature, so close yet so far
from everything. The man has an innate, emotional need to be connected with nature. Here, within the
embrace of the Old Mountain, this indescribable sense of belonging and coherence with nature is
actually created. The old mountain is, in fact, a symbol that emphasizes the necessity of respect for what
Mother Nature gave us selflessly.
