Nature Park Vrana
Because it is one of the rare natural habitats of water birds as well as because of its fresh water springs and biodiversity, the Vrana Lake and its surroundings have been declared in 1999 a nature park. The park is situated between Pirovac and Pakoštane. The park stretches across 57 km2, 30,02km2 of that being the lake area itself, which stretches in the direction from the North-West to the South-East parallel to the sea coast, from which it is in some places less than a kilometre apart. The lake is unique for its position and characteristics not only in Croatia but also in other parts of Europe. It is in fact a karst valley filled with brackish water and is below sea-level.
