PLITVICE LAKES DAYTRIP

 

One cannot visit Zagreb without taking a day trip to the Plitvice Lakes; there is no place in Europe that could rival the beauty of these lakes, the cascades and waterfalls that link them, the lush flora and rare mountain fauna, especially the now endangered European brown bear. This national park, the oldest in the country (founded in 1949) is situated less than a two hour drive from the capital.  The impact of a one-day excursion to Plitvice is immediately visible: if you like nature, the magnificence and beauty of the water and vegetation will leave you feeling refreshed for many days. It is no exaggeration but a fact proven by the yearly average of nearly a million visitors!
