Experience one of the last Mediterranean wetlands and have an active rest!
Vrana lake is the epithet of the largest natural lake in Croatia, and it is also one of the rare, almost untouched natural habitats of waterfowl, with sources of drinking water and an area of peculiar specificity and bio-diversity.

Info Center Crkvine is a special ornithological reserve that takes you into the world of birds along a wooden educational trail with observation decks and a tower offering a view of rare wetland habitats. More than 260 different birds have been recorded on Vrana lake. In the info center you can rent binoculars and a guide for bird identification, MTB bikes, and buy fishing licenses and souvenirs. Nearby there is an adrenaline park for all those looking for adventure.

The promenade integrated into the raw karst elements offers countless unique positions for unforgettable photos and the most beautiful sunset.
