The spectacular canyon of Vela Draga on the eastern side of the park is an astounding sight, its valley floor scattered with limestone pillars or 鈥榝airy chimneys鈥. Raptors, including kestrels and peregrine falcons, can be seen cruising the thermals here, and eagle owls and wallcreepers are also present. From the highway it鈥檚 a lovely 15-minute descent along an interpretive trail to a viewpoint over the canyon.
