In 1980, Kornati was proclaimed a national park because of its amazing scenic beauty, interesting geomorphology, a great coastal line, and especially rich biocenosis of the maritime ecosystem. The most interesting area for kayakers are the so-called “crowns” or cliffs, with the highest being Klobucar (80m.)
