Plitvica Lakes National Park

Yesterday we drove from Zagreb to just outside of the park and checked into our inn, which is described online as offering the friendliest welcome in Croatia. Also offered is a beautiful home cooked dinner and a breakfast buffet that is out of this world. To work off all that food, we set out at 8;00 for the park.

Plitvica is world famous for its lakes and waterfalls. The lakes take their colors from the minerals and organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight and range from green to turquoise to blue gray.

The water is so clear that you can see the fish . .

. . . and an underwater world with its own spectacular ‘landscape’.

There are a total of sixteen lakes in the park, and too many waterfalls  to count.

Plitvica is a place to meander through for hours, which is just what we did, prompting Jay to refer to us as a couple of meanderthals.
