Heading inland via the hugely impressive fortresses of Kliss & Knin, the mountains of the hinterland in general and the Plitvice Lakes National Park in particular provide an uplifting contrast to the heat, dust and heavy bustle of the coast. A day exploring the lakes calms the soul and refreshes the spirit, although at the snakes of similar minded visitors are exasperatingly all too similar.

The National Park is a serious of routes along paths and boardwalks which link tall outcrops of rocks and cliffs covered in luscious vegetation and tumbling streams, rivulets & cascading waterfalls. From entrance 1 it is a 10 minute walk to the first and most impressive collection of tumbling water.

The winding boardwalk takes the omnipresent line of centipedeing tourists right up to the foot through spray & mist.

The trail winds up the 16 lakes along the banks at the water’s edge, through speckling woods & glades, moss covered & frondy wrapped rocks, and open bodies of water, drawing out calmess and peace.

Simple boats take visitors across open water enabling access to all parts of the park.

So, relax fully!!
