  • Check the weather forecast before coming to the park
  • Wear the appropriate clothing and footwear (clothes in layer and preferably mid-cut hiking shoes).
  • Bringing adequate rain and sun protection (umbrella, raincoat; sunglasses, hat, sunscreen – depending on weather forecast).
  • Choose the time of arrival – due to the large number of visitors and the crowds that occur, during period from 10:00 to 14:00, occasional closure of the park is possible, so we recommend that you avoid this time and move your visit earlier or after 16:00 when ticket are lower. More about prices
