After visiting various old towns, monuments and touristic cities in Croatia we were ready for the nature portion of our vacation. We had been very excited about visiting this park in Croatia which had been on our target list for a long time. Plitvice National park is a UNESCO world heritage site which features a large network of gorgeous lakes and waterfalls in the North Central part of Croatia. Words don't do justice to describe such a beautiful place, so I will attach some photos we took from the hike. Our family hiked 8km (5miles) through the park and followed a route which 4-6 hours of time is recommended. The middle of the hike featured a boat ride which took us across one major lake and to another next set of smaller lakes. The hike was literally a network of lakes and waterfalls surrounded by lush greenery. The turquoise blue water of the lakes was stunning and the water was so pure an unpolluted as they do not allow anyone to swim or fish in the area. If you ever decide to plan a vacation to Croatia, I highly recommend a stop in this wonderful place. It is easily reachable by car or bus from the coastal city of Split. It is also fairly close to the capital of Zagreb. Our family made the drive by rental car from Split which made it easy and flexible to get to the park and nearby hotels. Plitvice National park is truly one of Croatia's greatest treasures and a place everyone should get a chance to visit.
