Visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park
Adding a stop at Plitvice Lakes to your Rovinj to Split private transfer is the best way to experience Croatia’s most iconic natural wonder. As the oldest and largest national park in the country, this UNESCO World Heritage site is world-famous for its 16 crystalline lakes joined by a series of cascading waterfalls. With your private driver guide, you will have 3 to 4 hours of flexible time to explore the park’s wooden walkways. You can marvel at the Veliki Slap (the Great Waterfall), take a panoramic boat ride across Lake Kozjak, and enjoy the lush forest scenery of the Lika region. Make sure not to miss “Veliki Slap,” which is the highest waterfall in the Plitvice National Park, standing at 78 meters high. The two largest lakes are Proscansko jezero and Kozjak. At the end of the tour, we will take an electric boat and panoramic train ride. This tour is available for booking throughout the year.
The Upper lakes (Gornja Jezera)
If you choose to have a local guide, you can meet them at the park. They are licensed professionals with over 10 years of experience. First, we’ll take a train ride around the Upper Lakes, which is a series of twelve interconnected lakes. The water’s mineral composition and microorganisms give the lakes a unique color, making them a fascinating sight. We’ll explore the Upper Lakes with our guide leading the way. The Plitvice Lakes are ever-changing, and we’ll continue our tour until we reach a boat that will take us to the Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera).
Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera)
The Lower Plitvice Lakes system is a masterpiece of nature, situated in a stunning canyon made of porous limestone with rocks reaching up to 40 meters in height. When you choose a Rovinj to Split private transfer, this natural wonder is the ultimate highlight of your journey. The carefully designed path for visitors is created by the travertine cascades located between Kaluđerovac and Novakovica Brod Lake. This scenic trail leads directly from NP Entrance 1 to the breathtaking Veliki Slap (the Great Waterfall). Standing at 78 meters, it is world-famous as the tallest waterfall in Croatia.
Veliki Slap, The Great Waterfall
Finally, the highest waterfall in the Plitvice Lakes National Park is Veliki Slap – the Great Waterfall. During your Rovinj to Split private transfer, make sure to witness the magnificence of this 78-meter wonder located at the very end of the Lower Lakes canyon. It is the dramatic place where the Plitvice River thunders down in a single, powerful drop into the Korana River. If you are traveling with your private driver guide during the colder months, you are in for a special treat—the waterfall often freezes completely in the winter, forming a lovely, giant ice sculpture that is a true must-see. Whether in the lush green of summer or the frozen magic of winter, Veliki Slap remains the most photographed spot in all of Croatia.
