What to see at the Plitvice Lakes
Get ready for the most dreamlike, fairy-tale landscape you have ever set foot in. Crystal-blue waters, waterfalls, lakes large and small on different levels in every shade of turquoise and emerald, caves with bats, fish, lush vegetation and winding little paths — all combine to create an incomparable natural scene that you simply must see once in your life. Walk slowly, accompanied by the sound of water beneath the dense canopy of the trees, and write your own fairy tale.
Rastoke
Rastoke is a traditional Croatian village which, thanks to the Korana river that links it to the Plitvice Lakes and its own natural little waterfalls, is also known as the ‘little Plitvice Lakes’. It has many beautiful watermills and is the ideal spot for a relaxing coffee after a full day at the lakes.
