Why it is worth your time
Entrance 1 Rastovača is where the day's route usually starts, tickets checked and maps unfolded before the forest closes in around the path. From this gate the trails fan out toward the lakes and their wooden boardwalks. Arrive early and the first stretch is quiet, just birdsong and the promise of water ahead.
