Sunny weather, morning mist, and clear night skies inspired participants to rise early and work late into the night. 

"Magical mornings, the sources of the Sana river, stunning sunsets, and clear, starry nights filled our time with learning, exploring, creating, and bonding far from all forms of pollution," Tadić wrote on the Svjetlopis page.

Pecka village, near Mrkonjić Grad, is where the Sana river emerges from three major springs, along with the Mračaj estavelle, creating a hydrological gem. Just 15 kilometers from Pecka is the source of another river, the Pliva.

Above the village towers a crown of rocks, after which Pecka is named; these rocks now represent the largest natural climbing site in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During the Roman era, Gornja Pecka, through which a Roman road once passed, was a settlement known as Sarnade. 

Today, Roman and gravel roads in Pecka and surrounding villages offer ten biking trails and even more hiking paths. Peaks of Krajina’s tallest mountains—Dimitor, Vitorog, Klekovača, and Šator—are visible to the naked eye and are easily accessible from Pecka.
