During the free time, camp leader will organize excursions in the surrounding areas, hiking on mountains and surrounding hills, trip to the neighbouring. During the camp will be organised visit to Ethno Village Piva and Monastery Konak.Landscape/surrounding: Niksi263; (pronounced [n.k643;it865;597;) is the second largest city in Montenegro, after Podgorica, and is an important industrial, cultural, and educational center. Although Niksi263; area has seen human settlements since antiquity, most of the modern Niksi263; is a planned city. Very little remains of the Ottoman architectural heritage, despite the long presence of Ottoman Empire in the area. The city layout visible today still follows the 1883 urban plan commissioned by King Nicholas and designed by Croatian architect Josip Slade. According to this plan, the streets of Niksi263; radiate to the north and east from the central city square (today a roundabout), locally known as Skver. The radial streets are intersected by circumferential streets and avenues, thus creating a half-spider web-like street layout.Layers of different architectural styles and urban patterns are evident along the radial network of streets. Thus, closest to the central roundabout is the historical core of Niksi263;, formed after the liberation from Ottoman Empire, and serving as a nucleus for Slade s urban plan. This area, on the foot of Trebjesa Hill, is home to King Nicholas Palace, City Park, and Freedom Square, main city square located along the central Njegoseva Street. The area is composed of mostly single or two storey row housing with basic designs, an architecture typical for late 19th and early 20th centuries Montenegro. The roundabout and the surrounding area is still the focal point of activities in the city, as bus and train stations, as well as commercial and civic services are located in the area.
