Almost missing the park sign pointing to a very small bridge crossing the river (Turn here?), we were able to catch the afternoon light hiking around Lake Biograd. This was a park for wood nymphs and fairies, one of the few remaining primordial forests in Europe. Many of the hardwoods here are over 300 years old and it is forbidden to remove dead ones. Mosss thrives in the moist cool air, and wild garlic blankets the forest floor. The river feeding the lake enters through a long braid of lush growth crossed on a boardwalk. Magical and surreal, I really wanted to linger here.
We found Hotel Ravnjak nestled next to a beautiful waterfall near Biogradska Gora National Park. This is our glamping experience - a wooden bungalow right by the river and rushing waterfall sounds to fall asleep to.
