Visiting Plitvice Lakes
When traveling from Zagreb to Split, Plitvice Lakes National park is the perfect stop to make on the route. Meet your driver at your hotel or private residence in Zagreb. The distance between Zagreb, Plitvice Lakes and Split is 450 km. After 1 hour of driving, We arrive at Rastoke village, often referred to as “the Small Lakes of Plitvice”. Furthermore, we continue to Plitvice Lakes. The national park consists of 16 lakes, which are stepwise and descend into one another. The two largest lakes are Proscansko jezero and Kozjak. From where we’ll take the electric boat at the end of the tour. This private transfer is available for booking year-round. From the months of March until the first snow of November, the roads to the Plitvice Lakes are passable. However, winter, too, has its charm when Plitvice lakes are covered in deep ice and snow.
The Upper lakes (Gornja Jezera)
Meet your local guide in the park (if you choose to have one) and start with a pleasant train ride around the Upper Lakes. Your licensed guide is a professional with more than 10 years of experience. With our guide in the lead, we start our tour by exploring the series of twelve interconnected lakes called the Upper Lakes (Gornja Jezera). The lakes also change color depending on the mineral composition of the water and the microorganisms living in them. This process ensures that the Plitvice Lakes are continually evolving. We’ll continue making our way through the fascinating landscape of the park until we reach the boat that will transport us to the Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera).
Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera)
The Lower Plitvice Lakes system is formed in the canyon constructed of permeable limestone. The highest rocks in the canyon are about 40 meters. The travertine cascade formed between Kaluđerovac and Novakovica brod lake is the visitors’ path leading down from the NP Entrance 1 towards the Veliki Slap waterfall and then further on around the Lower Lakes upstream in the direction of the Kozjak Lake. The climax of the Plitvice tour is undoubtedly the Great Waterfall (Veliki Slap), also known as the tallest waterfall in Croatia.
Veliki Slap, The Great Waterfall
Finally, the highest waterfall in the Plitvice National Park is Veliki Slap – the Great Waterfall. Witness the magnificence of the 78 meters situated at the very end of the National Park. The place where the river Plitvice thunders, in a single drop in the river Korana. The waterfall gets completely frozen in the winter, forming a lovely giant ice sculpture – a must-see!
