    Simply Divine

     July 19, 2016 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    The park is famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. There are 16 lakes which are the confluence of several small rivers and subterranean karst rivers. The lakes are all interconnected and follow the water flow. They are separated by natural dams of travertine, which is deposited by the action of moss, algae, and bacteria. The particularly sensitive travertine barriers are the result of an interplay between water, air and plants. The encrusted plants and bacteria accumulate on top of each other, forming travertine barriers which grow at the rate of about 1 cm per year.

    We walked for a few hours then a stop for lunch before taking a boat road across the lake.    Read more

    Crystal Clear Water

     July 19, 2016 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    The lakes collectively cover an area of about two square kilometres with the water exiting from the lowest lake forming the Korana River.

    The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colors, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. The colors change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.

    To ensure the water stays as clear and untouched you are not allowed to put your hands in the water.    Read more

    What an Incredbile place.

    Today was incredible we walked for hours around the many beatiful blue lakes, took a boat ride over crystal clear water and took in the amzing view from the top of this incredible National Park.

    However all good things must end we are tired and sad about leaving such a peaceful place but I guess things have to come to and end sometime.Read more

    Plitvizer Seen - Unesco Weltnaturerbe

     May 14, 2018 in Croatia ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

    Unser Wecker ⏰ klingelte um kurz vor sieben 😴. Um sieben Uhr hupt es kurz auf unserem Campground 🏕 im Nationalpark Plitvizer Seen und aus einem Van 🚐 kann man frisches Gebäck/Brot 🥖🥐 kaufen. Dann schnell frühstücken und fertig machen und um kurz vor halb neun steht die Betreiberin vom Camp mit nem alten Transporter bereit und fährt uns zum sieben Kilometer entfernten Eingang.

    Die Reisebusse 🚌🚎 von unseren asiatischen Freunden sind auch schon da ... Mist und wir dachten, dass wir vor der Selfie-Armada sind 🙈🙉. Okay in Schlangenlinien marschierten wir an ihnen vorbei und konnten uns einen sehr kleinen Vorsprung ergattern.

    Wir haben uns für die große Runde im Nationalpark entschieden, um uns auch die oberen Seen und die dortigen Wasserfälle anzusehen. Bereits an den ersten Stopps glühte unser 📸 Fotoapparat und der Akku war dann leer 😱 ... gut, dass es Handys gibt 😉. Da das Wetter heute nicht ganz optimal war, dichte Wolkendecke ☁️ und zwischendurch mal ein Platzregen und ein Gewitter ⛈, war die Stimmung teils sehr mystisch und dicke Nebelschwaden hingen über den Seen. Die Wasserfälle waren natürlich noch imposanter und die Wassermassen rauschten nur so runter. Der absolute Hammer 💫!

    Manchmal fragt man sich wie die Natur solche Schönheiten kreiert? Wir sind wirklich mega beeindruckt von den Plitvizer Seen und heilfroh, trotz der richtig schlechten Wettervorhersagen hierhin gefahren zu sein. Obwohl wir bis auf die Knochen nass waren, da wir uns im Platzregen mit einem Typen aus Costa Rica das schmale Dach einer Wanderkarte 🗺 geteilt haben und ein paar Tipps für die jeweiligen Europa-Roadtrips ausgetauscht haben, sind wir total happy 😊. Europa kann auch was 😉👍 - #europaistgeil!

    Den Tag beschließen wir jetzt in unserem Van hockend, 🚐💨 ... Musik 📻 der Broilers läuft, Standheizung wärmt und der Regen 🌧 prasselt auf unser Dach. Vanlife ist so mega cool 😎!    Read more

    Auf den Spuren von Winnetou!

     September 4, 2017 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    Heute ging es zu den Plitvicer Seen, einer der bekanntesten Drehorte der Winnetou-Filme.
    Wir nahmen den Shuttle in den 10km entfernten Park und reihten uns in die bereits vorhandene Warteschlange ein. Im Park selbst verteilten sich die Massen zuerst, jedoch traf man sich an den beliebten Fotospots schnell wieder.

    Die Wasserfälle, die Seen und die Landschaft an sich sind der Wahnsinn. Es ist wirklich atemberaubend schön!

    Die Warterei bei den Schiffen und Bussen sowie die Drängelei der Touris haben uns jedoch einige Nerven geraubt, so dass wir froh waren, als wir Abends gemütlich im Restaurant sassen und den Abend geniessen konnten.

    Unser Fazit für diesen Ausflug:
    - Erst Mittags / Nachmittags in den Park und bis zum Schluss bleiben
    - Essen selbst mitnehmen, da die Snackbars im Park nicht wirklich empfehlenswert sind
    - Eine Route ohne Schiff & Bus wählen, da es zu wirklich langen Wartezeiten kommen kann    Read more

    Plitvice

     September 14, 2018 in Croatia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Plitvice, possivelmente o parque natural mais encantador que já alguma vez visitei. São quilómetros de extensão de lagos ladeados de cascatas de todos os tamanhos, com passadiços de madeira a sobrevoar a água límpida no meio de uma paisagem com uma vasta gama de verdes, intensificados pelos seus reflexos na superfície dos lagos.

    Optámos sem grandes critérios por entrar pela entrada 2, o percurso escolhido de 2 a 3 horas começa com uma travessia de barco, antes de começar um percurso perdeste cuja a volta seria efetuada de autocarro.
    A única coisa que tenho pena é que na primeira parte do percurso, a afluência de pessoas obrigava-nos a parar muitas vezes, até porque a cada passo temos mais uma cascata para digitalizar através das nossas cameras.

    Felizmente existe um percurso circular mais pequeno, escolhido pela maioria das pessoas, por isso depois da nossa pausa para comer já pudemos caminhar a vontade.

    Só no final do percurso é que descobrimos que a Big waterfall, a maior cascata do parque ficava mais perto da entrada 1, pelo que no final do nosso percurso, seguimos de carro para a outra entrada para fazer uma caminhada de 15 min até à big waterfall. Vale tanto a pena, mesmo que estejamos no verão e que as cascatas já não têm muita água, só dá mais vontade de voltar na Primavera com as águas da neve a derreter nos rios, aumentando o caudal.
    Este parque custa 20 euros, mas se fosse mais também pagaria.    Read more

    Day 33: Plitvice Lakes, Croatia

     July 23, 2017 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Plitvice Lakes National Park is incredible. The water is so blue and so clear that we could see all the fish and even the branches at the bottom of the water. We ended up hiking a total of 16 km! The hike was really nice, but we ended up doubling up on one part of the hike by accident as the signs were confusing so we saw one part twice (not so bad as we didn't mind seeing the waterfalls again).

    Unfortunately, we weren't able to swim at the park as it is protected by its UNESCO World Heritage status, but was still totally worth a visit.

    When we got back to the hostel, we enjoyed the communal dinner of Penne Arrabbiata and ended
    up chatting with two people (Nicole and Tom) from Edmonton for over two hours. Turns out they booked the same kayaking/rafting tour as us tomorrow which will be a blast.    Read more
