National parks are real jewels of Nature, treasures of the nation and pride of the country. They compromise an uncountable amount of natural values and beauties. Each and every among the national parks has its own atmosphere, its characteristic features given by the geographic location, genesis of its territory, geology, climatic conditions and specific stands of flora and fauna. Nature in national parks remains untouched. It has been developing for thousands of years in its set rhythm and only in some limited places it has been marked by man’s activities from times immemorial.
