Natasa Apartment 2

Apartment Natasa 2 is located in the wilderness in a quiet part of the Plitvice Lakes National Park, 3.5 km from Park Entrance Two and 7 km from Park Entrance one. The apartment has free parking, in the morning you can hear the chirping of hundreds of species of birds that live here, and at sunset you can see deer when they go out to graze and a brown bear that walks around its territory The space In the happy times of the 1970s and 1980s, this was a paradise for tourists and locals alike. Guests came for multi-day vacations and stayed for up to 10 days. Tickets were cheap and you could buy a ticket for a long period of time. The Park area was full of restaurants and night bars with live music. The restaurants served local food that the hotels and restaurants procured from the surrounding farms. The contents of the Park that guests could see were 4 times larger than today. The length of the hiking trails was tens of kilometers. On the largest lake, Kozjak, swimming was very popular. Guests were driven around the lake in horse-drawn carriages. Women from local farms sold cakes, cheese and sandwiches with homemade food at places arranged along the paths and lakes. At Park Entrance One, there was a large Olympic swimming pool, a disco club and national restaurants, many cultural events, marathons, music performances, etc. were held. Then came the time of business and the Park was turned into an industry. The contents you can see are reduced to a minimum. Canyons, caves, the sources of the mountain rivers are closed to tourists, all the restaurants have been demolished and taken away, there is no live music anymore, women from the farms are not allowed to sell cakes and homemade food, in the hotels they serve food that has been brought frozen from faraway countries, swimming is strictly prohibited, and guests can only buy a ticket for one or two days. When you enter the Park, a tourist bus is waiting for you right there near the entrance, which takes you through 50% of the park, you walk a little bit along the sand path, about two kilometers, and a boat is waiting for you that will transport you to the other shore, in 5 hours you will go through the entire Park and take pictures pictures for social media to brag that you were in that gem of nature and you walk out and the next group enters. After that you think you have seen Plitvice Lakes National Park. You are not. It takes much more than one day.
