“Stunning but be advised...”

I'd been looking forward to seeing Plitvice as part of our trip to Croatia. The lakes and waterfalls didn't disappoint, both were gorgeous and the colour of the water has to be seen to be believed.

However, to get maximum enjoyment, please read my tips.

When you arrive at Entrance 2, please don't eat at the first restaurant you come to, a self service buffet-style job. We did and it was the worst meal we had in Croatia.

After paying, please take either the bus or the water taxi to the main falls and cataracts. We decided to walk and it was a mistake. Whilst we saw some of the beautiful woodland that we wouldn't have otherwise, we spent the entire time worried about bears which may sound daft but we didn't see a single other soul walking up and we got funny looks from passing bus drivers. It also took a looonnng time (approx 1 hour compared to 5 minutes on the water taxi) and was very hot.

Lastly, unless you have no fear of heights, don't attempt to get from the ferry point with all the restaurants to the Veliki Slap via the scenic route. Again, it takes ages, and the steps down to the base of the waterfall are quite precarious and scary. My legs were shaking by the time I reached the bottom and I couldn't enjoy the spectacle.

“Visit Plitvice independently”

If at all possible, go there independently. Your entry fee includes free transport around this magnificent but large National Park. You can then plan to walk downhill past the sixteen cascades. If you go as part of a Group, you will find yourself walking uphill because that is the way Tour Groups are directed. They all looked very weary to us!!!

Amazing National Park. well worth the entrance fee (£11). Entrance no 1 has mini market, souvenir shop, and restaurant across the road.(Food good) Fee includes ferries across the lakes. Entrance No. 2 seemed more spread out, we didn't eat at the restaurant as the food looked particularly uninspiring.

We spent a good 8 hours just wondering around the wonderful boardwalks and hardly saw a soul, April is out of season, the waterfalls were full of water so they looked particularly impressive and the colours you see on all the pictures are real. I t really is that blue. The boardwalks are brilliant, and enable you to get so close to falls that would normally be inaccessible, and yet don't in any way spoil the naturalness of the park.

We can't recommend the park enough for a thoroughly rewarding day.
One of the most stunning places we have ever been.

We stayed at the Korana autocamp and got up really early in the morning. The whole campsite was still asleep, and we 'sneaked' away to the park. We were the first visitors to arrive and it was absolutely worth it. We had the place for ourselves and enjoyed the beauty and silence. By 2 'o clock in the afternoon, the place was overcrowded. But by then we had nearly finished our route so we wrapped up and left for Karlovac
