Great place to spend a day. As others have said, this may be the best national park in Europe. I visited during the pandemic slowdown. Normal times, it is extremely crowded in summer and early fall. 200 kn per person entry fees. If you are in Croatia, then it is a must do. Wear good walking shoes. Need to be in good physical shape for walking, not necessarily need to be athletic. Lots of up and down steps. Narrow path for two way stream of visitors. Pick a dry day that is not too hot. Temperature here can be different than Split. Not for anyone with any mobility issues.

Wow! This place is beautiful. If you are visiting Croatia you have to visit here. It is worth the drive out here from anywhere within 2-3 hours if you wants something amazing to see. Plan ahead! They are crazy about their tickets though so make sure you purchase the correct ticket for the correct date. Trying to get them to change something on your reservation is harder than trying to change the passenger on an airline ticket.
