If you are
wondering about a typical day in Glavani Park, you need to read this article
until the end. There are three reasons you will find this interesting; 1. our
daily procedures, 2. what will you do and 3. where to go after your high ropes
adventure. So, enjoy reading Our daily
procedures.
In the early morning, between 8am and
9am, staff come to the Park and immediately check all the games. If we can see
something wrong we will try to fix it before 9am, when we open our doors. After
that we lay the harnesses out on the terrace ready for fitting, clean
everything and await the customers.When customers arrive we try to meet them immediately and to give
them a warm welcome and a little introduction to the park, so as they know what
to expect. The prices of the park games are given and the customers can do as
much or as little as they decide.
There is also the option to pay
in advance for the basic park (yellow,
blue and black routes) or the complete park on our website. We
aim not to keep anyone waiting or uninformed. We do not have booking times or
strict arrival times.When the customers are ready – then
we put the harnesses on and we are ready for training on ground level and then
on the yellow training / kids level.
We are still watching them all the time
they are climbing however many routes they complete.We always offer drinks and
ice-creams, especially when taking a rest, or at the end of the adventure
when, many times, Nigel, Nevenko or another member of the park staff are there
to relate the story of their life here or previously, with a bottle of beer, a
taste of home-made rakia or a coffee.At the very end we say our goodbyes
and wish all a wonderful vacation and we hope to see everyone again:-) this
holiday or next.
What will you doWhen you come to Glavani Park you
will usually see one of our workers coming towards you and wishing you a warm
welcome. You will hear a lot about the park, what games we offer and what can
you do here. Kids usually run to see the animals (dogs and cats). When you feel ready to start you come to
the terrace and we will fit you.
During training you will learn about
the equipment and how to climb, of course you may have been to other parks
before but we like to be sure you understand our ways. You will learn what we
mean by yellow tape and white tape and what you must do when you see them.After training you start
climbing on the yellow route; this is ideal for training too as we can
make sure you’ve understood everything and you pick up confidence before going
up high. After the yellow level you will begin the blue route and, after
completing the 113m zipline at the end, the black route.(there are some tricky
games, so be careful :))
Of course, because you end the blue
route down at ground level, you can take a break, drink something or eat
ice-cream, maybe use the toilet, before starting on the black route.When you are finished with the black
route, again on the 113m zipline and down to ground level, you will proceed to
the bridge. This includes the biggest zip line (flying fox, omega,
tyrolean), 120m long and, in the middle, 20m above the ground.
We
are sure you will enjoy it. It also goes faster than the others and everyone
agrees it’s the best!Now you are almost at the end. You
can proceed with the bridge, its big skateboard run, its unicycle, 35 metres
long, 12 metres above the valley floor, the most difficult gameto
pass hence why we can’t let the little kids go, or persons over 100 kg (sorry),
or you can come down to ground level again.On the bridge you must follow our
instructions otherwise you will not finish it. We give you one to one
instructions from the valley side.After the bridge you will proceed to
the most amazing swing you’ve ever had. Up to 3 persons can go on the big swing
at the same time.
Once fitted we will pull you up to 11m high by electric winch
and then you will need to pull the rope to release yourselves – – – – screaming
begins before the realization that this is the perfect feeling. Everyone must
try this however scary it may be! Satisfaction is seen on all faces!When you are finished with the Park,
this can be the whole day, you will have the most wonderful smile on your face!
Everyone has.
Where to go
afterwards? Are you hungry? Sure you are. We
sometimes have BBQs at the park, you can order a pizza takeaway to be delivered
here or you can bring your own food. OR you can go eating in one of our recommended places. If you want some more adventure like
horse riding, go to Ranch Barba Tone, 5 min from Glavani Park, in Manjadvorci or
organise quad biking or jeep trips with Istra
Adventure in the nearby village of
Draguzeti.
