If you can get here, go. The lakes are gorgeous. We spent six full hours walking around. The only thing was we kept ending up above the paths that go right across the lake. If you don't take the tram up to the top of the upper lakes I think you have to take the ferry across and walk from... More

A secret destination for tourists! This place is visited mainly by locals to indulge in rock climbing, mountain biking, and trekking. The place is not easily accessible without a private car but there are buses plying the route. Look for Dinko Cafe, that will be your landmark for the turning into the small road to the entrance route. Dinko will... More

We did a big and great hiking tour. You really need proper walking shoes. The road (track) can be slippery and is full of loose chippings. Scenery is astonishing! More

This is a beautiful park with a nice mix of walking routes for all abilities. We only went for a day out but would have happily stayed in the area. We got the bus from Zadar's central bus station which cost very little and were dropped virtually outside the park (just walk back the way the bus came from the... More

We spent two nights at Ramica Dvori - a rustic stone guesthouse with beautiful mountain views located about two and a half hours walk into this stunning Croatian national park. Host Marijo is hugely welcoming and attentive and prepares delicious hearty meals for his guests. The lamb and vegetables cooked slowly in the traditional way on a wood fire 'under... More

My husband and I decided to visit Paklenica National Park in Croatia, as one of the reviews suggested that it is a nice day out. After reaching the destination, which is a beautiful top of the mountain, the review suggested that we will have a chance to have a pint of refreshing beer. Having only a bottle of water and... More

We only managed a day hike into the park, but it was beautiful and the hike was stunning. Between seeing the climbing routes as you make your way through the canyon and then climbing up into the forest and stopping at one of the mountain refuge huts for a break - well it was all very pretty, great hiking and...
