Although the Plitvice Lakes are about 90 minutes north of Zadar you simply have to make the journey, because the park is easily one of Europe’s most beloved natural attractions.
What you’ll see are fourteen lakes, each connected to the next by waterfalls and natural pools as waters work their way down a mountainside. The king of all these waterfalls is Veliki Slap, at 70 metres in height.
You can use boardwalks to get unbroken views of some of the cascades and look down into the waters to see thriving ecosystems in these gorgeous travertine pools.
