This year’s increase was due to weather conditions and snow which provided an excellent opportunity for outdoor family gatherings.
Papuk has until now been referred to as a destination offering attractions for active summer holidays, while this winter it has become an increasingly sought-after winter destination, the park’s manager Alen Jurenac said.
These figures oblige us to make further investments to attract visitors to Papuk all year round, he added.
He noted that the number of visitors had increased despite coronavirus restrictions because of which the Jankovac mountain lodge was shut down.
Papuk Nature Park is located about 200 kilometres east of Zagreb.
