By now you are seeing rushing water falling, falling down great heights and all those wonderful pictures you will take. Not to worry, you will have those pictures. What captured my attention were the relatively short falls that each fall into little pools next to one another. Now that is something you don't see everyday! There are tour groups of... More

This was the #1 attraction in Croatia so I planned to land in Zagreb 1st and make my way down. After a week of hellish work in Eastern Europe, my 1st day in Croatia was this...it was HEAVEN! I loved walking calmly through the trails. It was the best way to unwind after that work week. The lines our tourists... More

My wife and I took a one week car trip in Croatia. We spent three nights in the Plitvice Lakes National Park area and absolutely loved it. We recommend that you go as early as the park opens in order to get a decent parking space and beat the heavy amount of park visitors. One nice thing about the visitors... More

In mid-May, my husband and I went to Entrance 2, trail F. The park was GORGEOUS- turquoise water, beautifully groomed trails, wooden paths that went right over the water. There are no guard rails, but I noticed that children and grandparents were there, too. The trail was too crowded for my liking, but really not that bad. Bring your camera-... More

The park is well organised. Only a pity is that there are so many people (tourists from all over the world visiting the lakes). We enjoy going a bit the other way and a good advice is to visit as early as you can. Than you walk before the buses. Otherwise you are behind the queue! Besides the waterfalls we... More

Very beautiful place - the pictures say it all! Be prepared to walk a lot! Although there are boats and a funicular, the best way to see the beauty is walking, so do it! We chose route K. At a certain point it was flooded, so we couldn't go any further, then we mixed route C with "our own route"... More

As you go around this beautiful park, there are more waterfalls than you can count coming off limestone cliffs and down into the crystal clear water below. It is something that has to be seen if you go to Croatia.

My wife and I visited this park as part of a group tour with Insight Vacations. We stayed overnight in the hotel located very close to the entrance of the park. Insight Vacations has priority entrance to the park, which meant our group was the first tourists allowed into the park early in the morning before entry time for the... More

Well, this place is just one big, jaw-dropping wow! Mother Nature at her best. We day-tripped to Plitvice Lakes from Zagreb by private car which included an experienced, fantastic, non-rush guide. It took about two hours to get there and also back but this time frame would depend on traffic. There was a lot of water around the lakes from... More
