Itinerary description
This is a relatively long hike along the fishermen paths. It offers sensational views of two of the largest lagoons in the area (Karavasta lagoon and Godulla lagoon), Divjaka beach and restaurants of the park.
As long as the path remains unmarked, a local guide is suggested.
The hike starts at the centre of the park, near of the Argena Hotel (WP 1), from where we follow SW along the unpaved road with hotels and restaurants from both sides. After approx. 1 km, near the Divjaka Park Hotel, the unpaved ends (WP 2) and we keep following SW along the sand beach path, with the sea in our right and the pine forest very close in our left. After a while we reach the Vahu canal, which is the only direct connection between the sea and Karavasta lagoon (WP 3). Our route turns left to the canal and sea connection, where is also a small bar to buy something (WP 4). After that we turn back to WP 3, than we follow SW for few hundred meters and cross the canal through a bridge (WP 5).
After crossing the bridge, the hike follows W for approx. 150 meters and then SW with the Godulla lagoon in the left and pine forest in the right. After approx. 1.5 km we turn left and our hike follows in a pine forest (WP 6).
Our hike follows SW in the pine forests for approx. 2 km until we reach a view to Karavasta lagoon (WP 7). The route turns right and follows with the Karavasta lagoon in our left and Godulla lagoon in our right. Different birds are possible to see at this point. Among them, we saw a Dalmatian pelican flying.
After approx. 200 meters is the first canal which connect Karavasta lagoon with Godulla lagoon. Near of the canal there is a fish manufactory (WP 8). Our route follows SW on a path located in the middle of the lagoons and after approx. 1 km we reach the second canal that connects Karavasta with Godulla lagoon (WP 9). After that we get back to WP 7 and then we follow NE near the Karavasta lagoon along an unpaved road for approx. 3,3 km where we reach the Vahu canal (WP 10). The route follows left and after a while we reach the bridge of Vahu canal (WP 5). After that we follow W and cross WP 3 and turn N at WP 11.
To get back to WP 1 you can either follow the same track near of the forest or near of the cost.
