Why visit Plitvice Lakes?
Plitvice Lakes is a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Lika, about 130 kilometres from Zagreb. The park encompasses 16 cascading lakes connected by waterfalls, with over 18 kilometres of walking trails. The water is exceptionally clear and transparent, with shades ranging from turquoise to emerald green depending on the season and angle of sunlight. The park attracts over one million visitors every year, making it one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Europe.
Horizonti Travel organises transfers to Plitvice Lakes from Zagreb, Velika Gorica, and surrounding areas. Your driver picks you up at an agreed location, takes you to the park entrance, and arranges a return at a time that suits you. This way you do not need to worry about parking, traffic, or how to get home after a long day of walking.
Top Sights in Plitvice Lakes
Upper Lakes
The Upper Lakes form the larger part of the park and offer spectacular views of the Galovački Buk and Veliki Prštavac waterfalls. Trails lead through forest and along the lake edges, with wooden walkways crossing directly above the water.
Lower Lakes and Veliki Slap
Veliki Slap is 78 metres tall and the highest waterfall in Croatia. The Lower Lakes are surrounded by steep cliffs and dense forest, and the Korana River canyon provides a dramatic landscape that differs from the rest of the park.
Lake Kozjak
Kozjak is the largest lake in the park and the only one served by an electric boat. The boat ride lasts about 15 minutes and provides a unique view of the surrounding forests and mountains.
Veliki Prštavac Viewpoint
From the viewpoint above Veliki Prštavac waterfall, you can see the entire series of cascades falling into Lake Milanovac. This is one of the most photographed spots in the entire park.
