There will be a special wooden megaphone in the Slanské Mountains forest near Prešov.

Thanks to its shape, it will project forest sounds and the public will enjoy a true nature orchestra, according to the creators of the project.

Four young people from the Hlas Lesa (Voice of the Forest) civic association came up with the idea.

“Our aim is to make places that deserve our attention more visible,” said František Baláž, one of the project creators, as quoted by TASR.

He added that the wooden megaphone should lure people to nature. They hope to support tourism in the whole region.

Unique in Slovakia

The wooden megaphone will be located near the cycling route connecting Prešov and the surrounding villages. It has the shape of a 9-edge pyramid.
