      Enjoy the beautiful landscape on your way to the Croatian UNESCO World Heritage site - National Park Plitvice Lakes.

      In only one day you will experience one of the most beautiful natural heritage sites in Croatia along with gaining an interesting insight into the historic importance of the area.

It has similar natural phenomena occurring as Plitvice Lakes and it is often referred to as "the Small Lakes of Plitvice". You will see the unique structure of well preserved wooden watermills on the waterfalls of river Slunjcica. The village found its place at the foot of the 19th century Napoleon's army Magazine since the area of Rastoke was actually the Eastern border of Napoleon’s Empire.
