This is largest national park in Croatia. It covers an area of 185 sq. miles. This place is well known for it’s 16 cascading lakes and dramatic waterfalls. I also went to the Krka national park – see this post

Vandog tip: Avoid the crowds and get free parking

These kinds of places are way better when you’re on your own (I think) – I mean without all the crowds. Most people seem to come in the morning and it gets really really busy. But everyone seems to clear off in the late afternoon. I went into the park at about 6pm and only saw a few people – that’s in mid June. It’s also cooler and the light is more interesting for photos at this time. So don’t rush to avoid the crowds; arrive late and enjoy the park.

Also, if you leave the carpark after 7pm, the parking is free and they don’t bother charging you – the guy in the hut told me.
