Wonderful cloudy sky with probably sufziehendem thunderstorm.

Today again a "trip" to the sun. 22 °, sunny. To Paklenica National Park, a paradise for climbers and hikers. Ok, we are not both, but Winnetou is said to have been filmed there too. At least the parking lots are called all Winnetou. From the parking lot it is just 3km slightly uphill, until you come to the actual entrance of the park. Here all climb on almost vertical slopes. Impressive. First an ice ... Then it goes on through the gorge steadily uphill, left and right steep mountain slopes and next to the path rushes a river with countless small waterfalls. There are 2 stops in the gorge. On the 2nd you have to decide whether to go back the same way or take one of the mountain trails. We opt for Option 2 and choose a moderate-looking increase with direction back ... The increase took about 1 h and was including small climbing deposit for us not without.

Today there was a choice: rain and 10 ° or sunny to sunny and 20 °. So we decided for Zadar and drove to the Adriatic coast. The long drive through the mountains and Croatian no man's land was worth it. Beautiful old town and special attractions such. B. the sea organ. Through openings under the seat steps at the sea, the waves create an extraordinary sound playing ...

Comparable with individual passages of Grenzweges, which I zzt. go. But definitely warmer than here.

In the footsteps of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand in rainy weather. No matter. Tickets were already organized and are only valid for the booked day. Tour H selected from entrance 2. Only a short distance by bus and in between with the electric boat. For high season it is certainly not fun here. In between, we got an impression of how it must be then. Going forward only in the cm area on the narrow paths.
It was still worth a visit, because the nature is very impressive.

Monumental place. A bit scary but with many hiking trails around, from which we went a little.

In Slunj there is a kind of open-air museum, which brings you closer to the former use of hydroelectric power with a mill.
Particularly impressive is the confluence of the rivers Slunjčica and Korana. Countless waterfalls rush down over many cascades. Really worth seeing.
Incidentally, there is still the original totem from the Winneto film "Schatz am Silbersee". Parts of it were also filmed in Slunj.
