Great Waterfall.

Head straight to the big waterfall. Do not waste your time anywhere else. You need to ask for the route which goes only to the big waterfalls. I took the longest route and it was not worth. Big waterfall is mesmerizing. Rest of the lakes and small waterfalls are mediocre. The park definitely needs better maintenance. Most of the lakes are having too much of unwanted wild plans which makes them look like a swamp.

Plitvice National Park is absolutely stunning. The place is incredible and we would return to see this wonder in a different season. That said, entrance needs to be more limited in summer months. The queue for the electric boat was over an hour. The queue for the shuttle was maybe 20 minutes. We entered at 8am so I assume queues only got worse. It was impossible to stop along the path as there were thousands of people behind us. It was heartening to see so many people wanting to enjoy nature but it did take from the experience unfortunately. At €40 for entrance, it is a bit steep when entrance does not seem to be controlled as suggested.

The Great Waterfall is the highest and most impressive of the many stunning waterfalls in this Unesco world heritage site. The scale is such that the best photographs are taken from a distance. It's located in the Lower Lakes section of the park (in the north and accessed via park entrance 1. You'll definitely want to arrive early to beat the crowds. A lot of the tour buses from Split and Zagreb arrive around 10am so the entrance and ticket line gets extremely busy. By 2pm they are all leaving the park. A couple of hundred meters after entering the park you'll get great views of the waterfall from the elevated viewpoint position which is perfect for those with mobility restrictions. To get closer will require walking down the path and across a few bridges and takes about 15-30 minutes to reach the foot of the falls. May and early June are the best times to visit with less crowds (but still busy) and good water volumes after the spring snow melt

All in one, pure nature, wild animal life, and unforgettable experience. Excellent walking and hiking paths all across the park. Resting spots for coffee or small food breaks are also located inside the park area. Recommend at least 5 hours of stay to view and enjoy most of it, preferably in the springtime when it's not too crowded.

Who would have thought that this location would be so charming in the silence of the winter? I think visiting this place in December was the finest choice, even though it was an impromptu trip.. So serene, a bit icy.. and how pleasant it was to meet other incredibly kind people who had travelled from all over the world to be there at this strange hour :)

We were there in September, hoping for good weather but it wasn't the case, too bad. The silver line being that the place wasn't overcrowded as it seems to be usually (at least according to the many reviews). This is an impressive waterfall, great as its names indicates (close to 90m height) and definitely a highlight of this famous park.

Visit to Krka National Park on October 17th.. absolutely stunning..

Veliki slap, which translates to big waterfall, is a definite visit if driving through Croatia. Part of the Plitvice National Parks, this is the tallest waterfall in the country. We got lucky as we came on a Wednesday morning in September so it wasn't overly crowded. This is the show stopper of the park so it is typically very busy. Located near the first gate of the park.
