An educational theme park based on sustainability and local culture is proposed for Ptuj, Slovenia. The park would feature attractions related to Kurenti carnival celebrations and educate visitors on sustainability through hands-on activities. It would blend into the landscape using local materials like stone and wood. The park aims to promote outdoor recreation, recycling, and public transportation to contribute to sustainable tourism in the region.
