Plitvice National Park, Croatia





The quote in the park brochure said it best: “There is water, waterfalls, and lakes but Plitvice is unique. You simply have to see it”!  The park was absolutely stunning.  Wood plank trails lead you through the park zigzagging around and across a series of tiered lakes and ponds each connected by  waterfalls and streams.  Canyon walls rise up to lush vegetation and great birch forests hugged the shorelines.  The park receives 12,000 visitors a day in peak season so Anelia and Jeff showed up at opening time to beat the masses and were very glad they did. As they were leaving the park the tour buses were unloading and hundreds of people were flooding the initial park trail.  It was truly a unique experience and one that should not be missed. Advice to anyone traveling to Plitvice NP, arrive early to beat the masses and also for the best photography opportunities.
