Anyone who wants to get acquainted with the unique natural heritage of Croatia and the monument to the world, should only approach it! At their own request, they can spend here - at all times of the year - the days of active rest and recreation. Walking along the paths next to the lakes, they can experience everything that this monograph would like to mention. But even a book cannot evoke a true experience that will give personal contact with this natural beauty; absorbed, as it should be with both understanding and emotional contact. My warm desire is that the paradise beauty of this area of our country’s dear was open to the world so that foreigners could enjoy this magnificent grandeur so that this pearl of our country would become famous throughout the world. Milka Trnina 1898.
