After missing out on going to see the Plitvice Lakes national park last year on a trip to Croatia, I wasn't going to miss out on it a second year. And it was well worth the visit. We decided to do it as a day trip from Zagreb (accommodation was cheaper that way) and after being picked up at the horribly early time of 9am from our hostel, we made our way a couple of hundred kilometres south to Plitvice.
There really isn't much I can tell you about the place that photos won't do a much better job of showing. There are a lot of absolutely stunning lakes, the water is unnaturally blue and clear, and the whole national park is just gorgeous. There are several different walks you can do, but due to time constraints we had to do a walk that was timed as being 3 to 4 hours long, rather than the longest walk which is 6 to 8 hours long. I don't know why, you must crawl to do it that slowly. Honestly, we took our time, took heaps of photos, and still made it in about 2.5 hours. So if you go, I would highly recommend doing the longest walk, although walk 'F" which we did, is beautiful too.
Enjoy the photos!
If you visit Croatia, definitely pay Plitvice a visit. It's pretty cheap (remember your student card if you're still at uni for a decent discount), easy to get to, and definitely one of the most beautiful national parks I've ever been to.
All the beautiful photos in this post were taken by Chewy, aka Master Photographer of Landscapes. Unfortunately I can't take any credit for the gorgeous shots (except the one I took of him).
