Plitvice Lakes National Park

Why Visit?

Embark on a breathtaking journey through one of Croatia"s most spectacular treasures, Plitvice Lakes National Park. Nestled in the mountainous karst area of central Croatia, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a symphony of 16 crystalline lakes tumbling into each other via a series of cascades and waterfalls.

Getting There: Begin your adventure in Zagreb, from where Plitvice is a scenic 2-hour drive. Alternatively, buses are aplenty, offering a direct route to the heart of the park. Arrive early to beat the crowds and fully immerise yourself in the park"s natural beauty.

Start Your Tour at Entrance 1: This entrance is perfect for those eager to witness the iconic Great Waterfall (Veliki Slap), Croatia"s tallest at 78 meters. The roar of the water sets a dramatic tone for what’s to come. Follow the trail that loops around the Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera), where wooden pathways snake over turquoise waters, offering unrivaled views and intimate encounters with the park’s fauna and flora.

Explore the Upper Lakes (Gornja Jezera): After a short electric boat ride across Lake Kozjak, Croatia"s largest lake within the park, you"ll reach the Upper Lakes. This area feels more secluded, with dense forests and a series of smaller, intertwined lakes that seem untouched by time. Hiking here involves a bit more elevation, but the ethereal views from the top are worth every step.

Interesting Fact: The park is home to diverse wildlife, including bears, wolves, and rare bird species, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.

Plan Your Visit: Plitvice Lakes is open year-round, but spring and fall offer the most pleasant weather and fewer tourists. Wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring a camera to capture the park’s awe-inspiring vistas.

End your day with a leisurely picnic by one of the serene lakes, reflecting on a day well-spent in nature’s lap. This is Plitvice Lakes National Park, a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers alike.
