After the bordercrossing we went to the Kopaci Rit which is a national park in Croatia. We saw different kinds of animals which are in danger and there is a fear of extinction from this. We saw the cormorans’ technic how these birds eating the fishes from the water and how to protect their area from eagles and how to wait there food the grey gém.

Honestly it was the most beautiful view what we have ever seen. In the evening we arrived at our accomodation.
