Park of Nature Vrana lake

Sweetwater lake just a mile from the sea

Vrana lake is a protected area with diverse habitats, extremely important for migratory birds, as it is the largest sweetwater lake on the Croatian coastline.

Its marshland is crucial for some bird and fish species and it is at the same time a large area with educational and recreation trails.

There are three entrances to this Park of Nature, Prosika is the closest to Murter.

That is also the point where you can buy the entrance ticket and start your cycling or hiking trip, for a kilometre to the peninsula Babin škoj or around the lake, for almost 50 km.

You can reach all the interesting sights by car as well, with the viewpoint on the top of the hill Kamenjak and the ornithological sight Crkvine.

National Park Kornati islands

Experience the supreme beauty of the legendary islands

Kornati islands are a marvel on the Croatian coastline, proclaimed a National Park due to the importance of this maritime habitat.

The cultural heritage of the islands is visible in the remains of Toreta, a 6th-century Byzantine tower but also in the kilometres of drywalls that Murter people have built throughout the centuries of land and sheep farming on Kornati islands.

Today National Park embraces more than 140 islands in front of the largest island, Kornat, forming a crown that had given the name to the whole island group.
