In the national park it is colder by about 5 - 7 degrees than in Zadar (this should be taken into account). You can get there by flix bus. Overall it was beautiful, however, you need to be careful on the footbridges. People come with large dogs, I think this is dangerous and should be prohibited. In addition, the route F was on one of the sites on the Internet differently described than in reality (you go by boat from p1 to p2 and p2 to p3 - unless it was someone on site misdirected us). Park beautiful, impressions unforgettable, clean, there was no trash. Cool boat cruise. People quite a lot for October and the average season, I can not imagine what crowds are on vacations :) I recommend to everyone :)

We started our tour at 08.00 a. m., it was cloudy and cold. My children didn't want to walk too much, but approximately 1 hour later they really enjoyed the panorama. Wonderful sunrise above the hills across the water smog, awesome looked waterfalls. It was really a stayable memory... We told our big kid, next time you will bring your family here and say them: once upon a time I was here with my parents... ♥️

One of the most beatifull placca I have ever seen in my entire life, trust me! Actually the atmosphere that you breath fells like magic. Workers were so kind and they helped us in order to understand what should be the best for us (vivendo our preferences and time of arrival). It was not crowded at all: the right amount of people for a Sunday!

This place is absolutely incredible. My only disappointment was that we didn't have more time to continue exploring all that is offered here. The paths are all well marked and well maintained which make it accessible and really achievable. I can't imagine that anyone would be disappointed with their experience.

Enjoyed the full experience of the walk with my guide, Christian. He has been very patient in explaining all the various landmarks and the history behind the National Plitvice park. Could see his passion . Thank you.

It was beautiful day, Took the longest route , my Strava shows 20 km, Plitvice Lakes are best if you like nature walk or trials, Ferry is also enjoyable. Tranquility and solitude are your things ? It's the right place, I visited in winter , may be lil more crowded in summer, and swim is allowed in summer .
