Such a coincidence. A collegue and I were just discussing them yesterday as he is going to Croatia in August. Such a beautyful landscape. They were actually the film settings for the "Winnetou"-films, when Croatia still was Yugoslavia - The apache chief of Germany's most famous western writer Karl

On youtube I found a beautyful 8 minutes film of the area, which you might enjoy, Åke.

And film scenes from the 1960s for all nostalgic Germans and those who like to see even more of this breathtaking landscape:

SUBLIME,
des images rafraîchissantes où l'eau et la nature
composent les notes de cette belle symphonie.

Bravo Ake.
