PART XXX: PLITVICE LAKES (11/4-6)


View Europe Travels in a larger map. Don't forget to click on photos to make them bigger!

At the center of Plitvice Lakes National Park is a series of small lakes separated by waterfalls of a wide range of sizes and heights. This is the largest of the waterfalls, right across the gorge from the main entrance. 

As the oldest national park in Eastern Europe, the park has been highly developed (but is still incredibly beautiful). The main benefit of this is a series of incredible boardwalks that crosses the lakes and waterfalls alike and makes seeing the entire chain of lakes very easy in a single day. Some of the boardwalks are right at the surface of the water and some even had water flowing through them.

A closer look at the big waterfall.

A neat boardwalk right next to a cave the extended above that dark hole you can see in front of Kari.

We climbed back to the rim of the gorge and got this great view of the boardwalks from above.

Heading back down to the trail.

A ferry across the largest of the lakes went between a pair of cafes.

We decided to walk around the lake instead of taking the ferry.

A neat image of leaves floating on the surface of the water above a sunken tree.

A gorgeous copse.

Looks like a jungle.

Kari enjoyed herself at Plitvice!
