Parco naturale del lago Vrana

This coastal freshwater lake spans 57 square kilometers, with 30 square kilometers of water surface connected to the Adriatic Sea by narrow channels.

In 1999, the lake received official protection status as a nature park, preserving its ecological importance and traditional fishing practices.

The park serves as a scientific research center for ornithologists who study and tag birds during annual migration patterns.

Visitors can explore over 50 kilometers of cycling trails that circle the lake, offering opportunities for nature observation and physical activity.

The lake contains brackish water and sits below sea level, creating specialized conditions for 249 bird species and 707 plant varieties.
