    Hiking

    Along the Slana Banja Promenade, opposite the Zlatnik restaurant, on a small lawn stands a natural stone with a verse engraved in April 2006 by Herman van Veen. It's a shame there's no English, or even Bosnian, information about this small monument. It's a poem by this Dutch artist, probably for an unknown child.
    The verse reads:
    "Darling,
    Life is like snow
    You can't save it
    It's comforting
    That you were there
    In days, months, years..."

    Hiking

    The Monument for the Unknown Child and the establishment of the Rose Foundation on July 1, 1999, are both initiatives of Herman van Veen.

    Since January 1, 2006, the foundation has also been known internationally as Roses for Children.
