The nature is slowly preparing itself for winter time and so is Katarínka – after very vivid summer, the fall came to be more calm, to finish the necessary works and to pack everything up for next season. From September to November, few events were organised to pack the camp, tents, and kitchen, finish each restoration sites. Everything needed to be packed and deposited in near village or in the roofed tower for next year.

This tower, 30m high, had being reconstructed to be an observatory one since 2010. This year, we finished wooden railing and installed 2 iron stairs to rich the top of the tower. This reconstruction was made according to original arrangement of the tower with addition of this iron stairs to the top with agreement of experts we cooperate with. From spring 2017 it will be opened for visitors as well.

Of course, another point of these events was to meet up again, be with friends, share some time together, empower relations we created during summer. And to celebrate what has been managed this season and to celebrate our patron St. Katarina from Alexandria, we had a great ball, thanked our supporters, had fun together and enjoyed the night.
