    Waterfalls at every turn

    Water defines the experience at Plitvice, with cascades appearing constantly as lakes spill into one another across natural limestone steps. From powerful drops to gentle streams, the sound and movement of water follow you throughout the park.

    Boardwalks just above the water

    Wooden walkways carry you directly over clear turquoise lakes and narrow channels, keeping you close to the water at all times. The paths create ever-changing angles for viewing waterfalls, fish-filled shallows, and reflections of the surrounding forest.

    Upper & Lower lakes

    The Upper Lakes feel wide and calm, with broad expanses of water framed by dense woodland and soft cascades. The Lower Lakes contrast sharply, cutting through steep limestone canyons where waterfalls plunge dramatically into narrow pools below.

    Forest trails & quiet sections

    Between lake systems, shaded trails wind through beech and pine forest, offering cooler air and a slower pace. These stretches provide moments of calm before rejoining the lively lake and waterfall routes.

    A flexible, self-guided flow

    With time to explore independently, the day unfolds at a natural rhythm shaped by your interests rather than a fixed route. You can linger at viewpoints, move steadily between sections, or pause whenever the landscape draws your attention.

  • What to bring

    • Opt for comfortable, supportive shoes, as many walkways and forest paths can be slick or uneven.

    • Pack water along with sun protection such as sunscreen and a hat for time spent outdoors.

    • Wear layers that can be added or removed easily, since temperatures may change across open areas, wooded sections, and higher ground.

    What’s not allowed

    • Swimming, bathing, or entering the lakes is strictly prohibited.

    • Pets are not permitted, except for registered service animals.

    Accessibility

    • The park is not fully accessible for wheelchair users due to steps, wooden paths, and uneven surfaces, though limited areas near entrances and facilities may be accessed with support.

    Additional information

    • Entry to Plitvice Lakes National Park is not included and must be purchased on-site.

    • Stay on marked paths at all times to protect the lakes and delicate travertine formations.

    • The park extends across a large area covering both Upper and Lower Lakes, so expect a full-day visit that may include walking combined with boat or shuttle transfers based on your route.

    • Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.
    • Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point.
    • Please check your final voucher for the starting point details & specific instructions.
