Hiking Plitvicka National Park

Got up extra early this morning and headed to the bus depot to catch our bus to Plitvicka (130 Km from Zagreb). I’d read about it when planning our trip and had seen some impressive photos, but until you actually experience the place it’s impossible to appreciate the awe inspiring beauty and uniqueness of this park. Every turn on the trail brought something amazing into view. But because it’s so special it also draws a whole lot of tourists. We did have a view waits in order to get to some of the most scenic, photo taking locations.

Everyone who arrives is asked to choose from three available routes, each a different length. We chose “H” which was the mid length route. It included a tram ride to the starting point, about 10 kms of hiking and a boat ride across one of the longest lakes in the park.

We took a lot of photos. I can only post 10/footprint so I’ve added an additional footprint just for the photos we took today.Read more
