This region served as the backdrop for the film adaptations of the stories of the Native American Winnetou. You will feel as if you are right in the middle of a Winnetou adventure.

Among others, you will see Lake Kaluđerovac, which became known as the "Silver Lake" in the film "The Treasure of Silver Lake", and the "Treasure Cave" in the rock face above it. You explore the national park on foot, by boat and by panoramic vehicle. Continue to the Adriatic coast to Petrcane.
