It is almost always busy here, if you book online you will get a time slot to visit the park.

A beautiful view of the green world of the Korana. A beautiful spot on earth. There is also a small bench next to it, so you can make a small package there. 😉

A beautiful area, simply fantastic to drive around the lakes. You are almost always alone there, so you have to be stubborn.
