Plitvice lakes national park: Croatias best

JANUARY 27, 2015 LOCATIONS VIEWS : 6 6

This heaven on Earth is the oldest and most visited Croatian National Park. It was

granted UNESCO world heritage status in 1979. No matter how many times you
visit, this paradise it never fails to amaze.
It is easily approachable by road, especially since the highway from Zagreb to
Split has been finished. There are several regular bus lines that connect Zagreb,
Zadar and Split with Plitvice Lakes. A lot of agencies also organize daily trips and
include a guided tour through the park.
Once you arrive, we are sure youll want
to stay there forever. It presents a
magnificent landscape with sixteen
lakes and numerous waterfalls and
cascades. The phenomena of the park
are very fragile tuffa barriers which
took years to grow in. The park is rich
with wildlife, there are several
protected and endemic plant species, its most popular resident is the brown
bear, but there is abundance of other animals 157 bird species and 50 mammal
species like shrew, dormouse, vole, pine and beech marten, wild boar but the
most popular ones are lynx, otter, red deer, and wolf. This makes the Plitvice
Lakes a perfect destination for any nature lover. The sound of waterfalls, birds
chirping and feeling of freshness will forever remain etched into your memory.
After miles of walking or cycling you will definitely need some food to restore
your energy for further exploring. The restaurant Lika house (Lika kua) will
offer you some of the local specialties.
It is recommendable to visit this magnificent national park during the summer or
spring when the nature is in full bloom, but it is also remarkable to see it covered
with snow. It looks like a winter fairytale. The lakes are astonishing during any
weather conditions but rain tends to ruin the mood of the visitors.

It does not surprise that this romantic


and fairytale environment was
recognized by many couples as a
perfect place for their wedding
ceremonies. The ceremony can be held
in several locations, near the waterfalls
or on the boat, the accommodation is
available (for other visitors as well) at
one of the four hotels inside the park or
maybe in one the private apartments that are available. There are also two
camping grounds.
