"Croatia's largest national park is one of the most unique gems in Europe, with a mix of forests and a chain of 16 terraced lakes connected by waterfalls. Hiking, horseback riding, and ATV and bike tours make this one of the most fun and picturesque national parks to explore. Perfect pairing to mix an itinerary with city exploring in Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, and Zagreb, and enjoy the great outdoors with the best of both worlds." — Harlan deBell & Kara Bebell, The Travel Siblings. The park's defining features are its 16 interconnected terraced lakes and numerous waterfalls, with many active options for exploring the scenery (hikes, horseback rides, bike/ATV tours) and easy combinations with Croatian city itineraries." - Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure.
