Plitvice: The Hike

Croatia just keeps on delivering. Plitvice Lakes National Parks was absolutely stunning. We got up nice and early and headed straight to the park to beat the crowds (up to 15000 people per day visit). Luckily we did because we hardly saw anybody on the first 5km of a walk.

The National Park is a series of lakes that all feed into each other through waterfalls like terraces. There is no swimming or fishing allowed so the water is pristine, crystal clear and full of fish!

It was very cloudy when we started but cleared up to be another great day which really showed the colours of the lakes.

A really awesome place. Definitely worth the trip and the early start. We are now in Zagreb where we have one night then we are catching the overnight train to Vienna tomorrow night.
