The perfect place when traveling through the park you feel like in a fairy tale, the feeling that you and nature are one, but at the same time has a well equipped camping grounds! The most attractive that the people there is little, just you and nature!

Very strong mosquitoes available. Just drive through it and enjoy nature. Excellent greenery. Charming

Beautiful peaceful nature, forest, big lake with transparent water (good for sweeming) and old monastery on one of the islands. The place have their own ratively good and cheap hotel rooms. No restorán in their hotel but there are a plenty around.
