Croatia is located at the junction of Western, Central and Southern Europe and has many karst terrains (limestone terrain). Plitvice Lakes is the most famous national park in Croatia and a must-visit wonderland. Also known as Plitvice Lakes National Park A national park famous for its lakes, alpine forests, waterfalls, caves, and hiking trails. Certified by UNESCO in 1979❗ There is also a UNESCO stone monument at the entrance of the park. Remember to take a photo to commemorate your visit to Plitvice Lakes❗ This beautiful national park is maintained regularly, and the water quality is super clear. Walking and hiking by the charming lake while looking at the green water is actually one of the great enjoyments of life. The photos you take casually are either reflection photos or unique scenery photos~ This place was also selected by CNN as one of the 15 secret places in the world that must be visited in life👍 I thought it was going to be very cold but it got hotter as I walked. It took me two hours to walk. Because I had to keep walking, I was sweating by the end and even took off my scarf. I especially choose to come at the end of October because I want to enjoy the beauty of the maple leaves at the same time😘👍 Fortunately, we can both walk to Shanghu (waterfall area) and Lower Lake area. The journey takes about 4 and a half hours. You really have to see it with your own eyes to know the beauty of this place☺️ #croatia #Croatia #Fall #100 Ways to Travel

#lake Plitvice Lakes National Park is the most famous national park in Croatia, established in 1949. Also known as 16 Lakes National Park. It is the first national park in Croatia and one of the must-see attractions in Croatia. During the five years of the civil war, there were no tourists visiting this place, which made it very desolate and abandoned. Fortunately, after the civil war, reconstruction began and tourists returned. The scenery is extremely beautiful, the water is clear and you can see fish, and the view changes with each season. There are many ways to visit the 16 lakes, including taking a park bus and a boat on the lake, but there is also a certain amount of walking, but you should always measure your own physical strength and ability. Many travelers take away the leftover bread and fruit from breakfast for lunch, and there will be some picnic areas available for everyone.

Visited Plitvice Lakes in early May At this time, the upper lakes were already open, but there weren't many tourists, so it wasn't crowded. We planned a day and a half at Plitvice Lakes. Stayed at a hotel near the lower lakes, so we could rest immediately after hiking. However, we found that if it's not peak season and there's no crowd, one day is actually enough. We traveled with my 65-year-old parents, and it rained on the first day. But we almost finished the hike in one day and saved the upper lakes for the second day. We took the K route, which took us about 4 hours as a reference for everyone. Along the way, there are various lakes and waterfalls, with incredibly clear water. It's not very tiring to walk. At the entrance, you can overlook the waterfalls scattered among the lakes. Don't miss it. Tickets can be booked online or bought on-site. (In peak season, you must buy in advance due to traffic control.) Also, after 2 PM, no tickets are required! It becomes a free park entry. 😂 Oh, and for those driving, be sure to watch your speed when heading to Plitvice Lakes! We saw police ambushing by the lake for two consecutive days.

#closetonature #100waysoftravel #naturebeauty #love_nature #waterfall #lake #croatia #plitvicelakes #plitvicelakesnationalpark In late September, we visited the breathtaking Plitvice Lakes National Park, a true haven for nature lovers. The park is renowned for its cascading waterfalls and interconnected lakes, where the crystal-clear waters shimmer in shades of turquoise and emerald. As we wandered along the wooden boardwalks, we were surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of rushing water. The park is vast, and we took a boat ride across one of the larger lakes, allowing us to fully appreciate the beauty of this natural wonder. Later, we hiked to a higher vantage point, where we were rewarded with a stunning aerial view of the entire park, showcasing its intricate network of waterfalls and lakes. Being immersed in such pristine nature was a truly unforgettable experience, leaving us in awe of the world’s natural beauty.

The guide will bring you around the park to admire and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the UNESCO World Heritage site - the 16 terraced lakes, breathtaking canyons, and more than 90 waterfalls.

I came to Croatia for the first time when I was a kid🇭🇷This country is called Yugoslavia. I was very impressed by the 16 Lakes National Park. I came to PLITVICE LAKE National Park in October and found that the tickets purchased on site were only 10 euros. Why did I buy them online first? 23 euros😡There is also a limit on the number of people, which is even more outrageous. I found that there are some entrances where you can sneak in without buying a ticket🔥It is really to guard against gentlemen and not villains🤬 Transportation strategy: Drive your own car🚗, it is more maneuverable Must-visit attractions: 16 Lakes National Park It takes about 5 hours to walk up and down the lake, take Route H Enter the No. 2 parking lot, first take a car to ST3 and walk to P2, take a boat from P2 to P3, then walk to ST1, take a car back to No. 2, and then walk to the parking lot Recommended hotel: This time I stayed at Guest House Slavica, which cost less than 1,000 per night and has a shared kitchen👍 #familytravel #croatia #PLITVICELAKENationalPark #Croatia #Croatia #CroatiaTravel #16Lake #Plitvice Lakes National Park 2023/10

Plitvice Lakes National Park Check out the snow-covered version. In the high season, it's beautiful with lush greenery, but in winter, it's a world of silver. I thought this time of year wasn't so bad either. To get there, leave from Zagreb bus station. It was a day trip, so it was easy to visit. Also, there were places that were accessible during the high season, but in winter, there were places that were inaccessible due to the snow. I'd like to go there in the high season someday. #Croatia #Plitvice #PlitviceLakesNationalPark #WorldHeritage

The Plitvice Lakes is the oldest and the largest national park in the Republic of Croatia. The exceptional natural beauty of this area has always attracted nature lovers. Plitvice Lakes are reachable on a day trip from Zagreb, Zadar and Split. However, we recommend spending at least one night in the area to allow you to experience everything the park has to offer. With this in mind, plan at least 2 days for visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park. Although visitors aren't allowed to swim in the lakes directly, just few kilometers north of the National Park, swimming is possible! If possible, spend at least one full day at the lakes to make the most of your day trip to Plitvice. Of course, it's also a good option if you can spend the night over, but visiting Plitvice in one day is doable The best months to visit Plitvice are June and September. Tickets can be purchased in advance at least 2 days prior to arrival. You can also buy your entry tickets at the Park, but with the risk that they will not be available because the number of tickets per hour is limited because of possible overcrowding. Lightweight clothing like T-shirts and shorts are a must as well as hats, sunglasses, and sunblock. Amazing day! #croatia #nature #adventure

#goout The Plitvice Lakes are a masterpiece of nature formed by the interaction of limestone and water erosion. The color of the lake water varies greatly, including azure, emerald green, dark blue, etc. The angle of sunlight, the changes in the color of the surrounding trees in different seasons and the amount of water all give the Plitvice Lakes different scenery, which is unforgettable.

Plitvice in Winter Are you curious about the beautiful and romantic place in the photo? This is Plitvice in Croatia. Some courses are not operated in winter because the roads are slippery due to snow, but you can enjoy nature more cheaply and with fewer people. There is no separate parking fee for the parking lot. If you have an international student ID, you can enter at a discounted price, so make sure to bring your international student ID! #WinterTravel #GourmetExploration #SafeTravel #Christmas #YearEndTravel #WinterFood #WalkingInWinter #OnASnowyDay #Plitvice #CroatiaTravel #Croatia

#Overseas Travel Croatia's Plitvice Lakes National Park, also known as Plitvice Lakes National Park, is divided into upper and lower lake areas, with large and small lakes and waterfalls. Because of the limestone deposits, the lake water reflects blue and green colors, which is quite beautiful! I have visited here in spring and autumn. There is more water in spring, but less water in autumn. However, the leaves are yellow and red against the blue and green lake water, creating a completely different scene! #Overseas Travel

| Croatia | Plitvice Lakes National Park | Located in the Karst region of central Croatia, formerly known as Plitvice Lakes National Park, it is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. The unique limestone topography has shaped many lakes and waterfalls in the park. There are a total of sixteen lakes scattered in the upper and lower lake areas, so the public calls it the "Plitvice Lakes National Park." When I first decided to visit Plitvice Lakes, I was attracted by the photos on the Internet and it fell into my bucket list. To tell whether it is a photo scam or a photo, you have to visit it in person. In order to fully appreciate its charm, I referred to the online guide and spent two days touring the entire park, one day each in the upper and lower lake areas. The green color of lake water has always been a dreamy existence. It not only calms people’s mood, but also has an irresistible charm. The green color of the lake water is so unreal. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom and the dead trees and fish on the bottom of the water clearly. Both days felt like being in a paradise, the beauty of which cannot be described in words and can only be understood when you see it with your own eyes. The scenery of the upper and lower lake areas is completely different, but I personally think the lower lake area is the highlight. The walking trail is almost level with the lake, giving you the feeling of walking on water. An S-shaped wooden boardwalk runs across the lake, which is an important landmark of the entire national park and allows visitors to appreciate this Croatian emerald up close. Another highlight of the Lower Lake is the Veliki Slap Waterfall, which is about 78 meters high and is the widest and most spectacular waterfall in the park. Just walk along the wooden plank road along the river and you will reach the bottom of the waterfall, where you can enjoy the visual and auditory impact from below. Lazy Tips: 1. Tickets for Plitvice Lakes National Park need to be booked online in advance. It is better not to buy them on arrival. Because they limit the number of people entering every hour, if you don't buy a reservation, you may not be able to get the time you want. The official website will only open ticket pre-sales two days later, so remember to reserve some time. 2. If you travel independently like me, the transportation in Plitvice Lakes National Park is not very convenient. I chose the official hotel, and there are two shuttle buses every day (9 am and 5 pm) going back and forth between the entrance and the hotel, but their arrival time is very unpredictable and I often miss it. Therefore, the best way to get around the park is to call a taxi, which is hassle-free and not expensive. _____________________________________________ 📍 Plitvicka jezera, Plitvice Lakes National Park 53231, Croatia 🕑 7:00~20:00 #mytravoto #Lifeisaneverlastingjourney #TheMostStylishTravelExperience #TravelInspiration #NaturalWonders #Overseas Travel

There are three entrances to the Plitvice Lakes National Park (commonly known as the 16th Lake), which is known as the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Europe. However, not every entrance is open all year round. For the sake of insurance, most people get off at the first entrance (that is, the first stop in the scenic spot) and buy tickets into the scenic spot. From Zagreb, it takes about an hour to get there by car. There are not many people in the area. It is very pleasant. The lake is crystal clear. Many parents take the children to play and take a lot of local photos~ here It is a limestone landform in the upper reaches of the Korana River. After thousands of years of erosion and deposition, many travertine slopes are formed. The development of natural dams has spawned a series of lakes, caves and waterfalls to create a magnificent natural wonder. This wonderful geological process continues to happen today. The forests in the park are home to wild bears, wild wolves and many rare birds.

At Plitvice Lakes National Park, I encountered breathtakingly beautiful scenery that left me speechless. The water shimmered like emeralds, making it impossible to look away. It was a moment of tranquility that can only be felt in nature—a time when my mind felt emptied and refilled with fresh energy. If you're departing from Zadar or Zagreb, there are tours with a guide-driver available, so be sure to check them out. This is a place I highly recommend for anyone who wants to fully immerse themselves in nature. If you're visiting Croatia, make sure to stop by! 🌿

Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia officially boasts over 90 waterfalls. The abundance of waterfalls cascading between the terraced lakes makes for a spectacular sight. The well-maintained wooden decks make walking around very comfortable, but in crowded areas, there’s a slight concern about someone accidentally falling into the lake due to a push or slip. So, I walked very cautiously. While seeking healing in nature, I recommend being extra careful to avoid any accidents.

#cityplaybook Plitvice Lakes National Park, a beautiful mix of forests, lakes and waterfalls, this stunning national park is a great place to stretch your legs while admiring the natural world.

From this viewpoint, it looks like the lakes stretch out for miles! 💰Price per Person: €23 from April to October, €10 from November to March. #croatia #nationalpark #plitvicelakes
