Plitvice Lakes National Park
Plitvice Lakes is Croatia’s best known national park and the only one of eight that is listed on the UNESCO List of World Heritage sites. The main attractions of this park, unique in the world, are the 16 small lakes joined by waterfalls created by the sedimentation of travertine, a special type of limestone. This national park encompasses the source of the river Korana, located in the area surrounded by dense forests of beech, fir and spruce. There are also several caves in the park, as well as springs and flowering meadows. The brown bear stands out as one of many protected animal species. The popularity of this park is also boosted by the special means of transport used to ferry visitors around: the panoramic electric trains and the noiseless electro-powered boats.

Wonderful nature at its best

I would see it again anytime, it is such an astonishing place to visit. The whole infrastructure for tourists to go around the park was amazing. The waterfalls, the trail around the park, the way they have created multiple options right from 2-3 hours trails to the longest 7-8 hours one is really nice.

Absolutely beautiful

This national park is a world heritage site and now we know why, it is gorgoeus here and what a wonderful place to enjoy a day or two or three of hiking. The trails are well maintained, well marked and there are shuttles and a boat shuttle to transfer hikers from different parts of this vast park. We are here early in the spring season and it is not too crowded, I can only imagine how packed this place could be in the height of the summer. Come early spring or fall to avoid huge crowds is what we have been told. The staff here at the park is very helpful and most speak English.
