Europe’s
most searched national parks
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia. With
over 2 million searches in the past year, this Croatian natural wonder tops the
ranking. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, it is famous for its 16
interconnected lakes linked by cascading waterfalls, accessible via a network
of trails and wooden walkways.
Krka National Park, Croatia. A
paradise for nature lovers, this park is also home to rich cultural and
historical heritage, including Krka Monastery and the ancient Roman military
camp of Burnum. However, its real highlights are the stunning waterfalls,
particularly Skradinski Buk.
Peak District National Park, United
Kingdom. A source of inspiration for Jane Austen, the country’s oldest
national park is known for its rolling hills, caves, charming villages, and
scenic hiking and cycling trails. Notable sites include the villages of Eyam,
Castleton, and Bakewell, as well as Chatsworth House, the mansion featured
in Pride and Prejudice.
Thingvellir National Park, Iceland. Part
of the famous Golden Circle route, this park holds great historical
significance as the site where the Icelandic parliament was founded in 930 AD.
Its unique geology allows visitors to witness the rift between the Eurasian and
North American tectonic plates, as well as the striking Almannagjá and Silfra
fissures—Silfra being a favourite among diving enthusiasts.
Ojców
National Park, Poland. The smallest national park in the country, yet
rich in natural and cultural heritage. Located near Kraków, it features unique
rock formations such as Hercules’ Mace, numerous caves, and historic landmarks
like Ojców Castle.
