Camping Planik

Fresh-air fiends, you’ve picked a fab spot, whether you like to take it all in at a gentle pace or set yourself challenges. If you’re of the latter sort, there are plenty of uphill hiking trails and cliffs to climb in the Paklenica National Park, and aquatic adventures to had kayaking or rafting along the Zrmanja river – both are around half an hour away by car. For something altogether less energy-sapping, head down to Zadar (20 minutes away) to board boat trips around the stunning islands of the Kornati National Park, stopping in selected places to swim, sunbathe and feast on local seafood. Once dropped back on dry land, stick around in Zadar to visit the Museum of Illusions before settling down to watch the sunset accompanied by the mighty sounds of the Sea Organ. And that’s not it for the national parks… you can get to the Plitvice Lakes National Park with just over an hour’s drive or to the Krka National Park in 45 minutes. If you pick the latter, wander among the waterfalls and seek out the island house built by local priests using eggs instead of cement (NB: don’t try this at home).
