Plitvice LakesTravel Guide

A chain of smaller turquoise lakes at the park's southern end, connected by wooden boardwalks passing right over the water.

Croatia's tallest waterfall at 78 metres, the dramatic centerpiece view of the entire park.

A quieter, more forested section of terraced lakes and cascades, generally less crowded than the Lower Lakes circuit.

Wooden walkways threading directly across and beside the lakes, letting visitors walk within metres of the water and fish.

A included park ferry crossing Kozjak Lake, connecting the Lower and Upper Lakes sections without a long walk.

A raised platform giving the classic postcard view over the Great Waterfall and the pool beneath it.

Entering at park opening to see the lakes near-empty before the tour buses arrive mid-morning.

A small cave accessible along one of the Upper Lakes trails, a short detour for a cooler underground break.

A hop-on park train connecting the main entrances and viewpoints for visitors who want to cover more ground with less walking.

A small watermill village nearby built directly over its own set of waterfalls and river channels.
