Plitvice Lakes, Croatia

Things to do in Plitvice Lakes

Everything in the Atlas for Plitvice Lakes: places to see and things to do, in one list.

The Upper Lakes

Twelve terraced lakes joined by travertine barriers that are still growing about a centimetre a year. The boardwalks have no railings, which is part of it.

Waterfall · 3–4 hours

Veliki Slap

78 m, the tallest in Croatia, at the foot of the lower canyon. Heaviest after the snowmelt and reduced to a thread by late August.

Waterfall · 1 hour

Plitvice at opening

Timed entry tickets sell out; the 7 am slot gives you an hour of empty boardwalk before the coaches from the coast arrive.

Walk or hike · moderate

This page exists because Plitvice Lakes has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Plitvice Lakes.
