Veliki Prstavak Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Veliki Prstavak is Plitvice Lakes' second highest cascade, at 92 feet (24 m). It's a truly magical sight, as the various falls tumble from the lakes above, surrounded by lush vegetation. Boardwalks allow an intimate appreciation of this karst phenomena.

July 3, 2021,Croatia: NP Plitvice Lakes
We headed to the must-see of every visit to Croatia right at the beginning of our vacation: the Plitvice Lakes National Park.

The Plitvice Lakes were declared Croatia's first national park in 1949 and were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.

Plitvice national park is a beautiful and popular destination. There are several way marked routes through the national park. We explored the different levels of lakes and the waterfalls that connect them on a lovely afternoon. Can easily spend a whole day here. There is also quite a bit of wildlife. We even saw a snake in the water.
Here is another tour of the Plitvice Lakes. There are a total of four routes that you can walk. But you can also combine them in any way you like...which I did. How beautiful it is there!

Because we still had time, we looked at the other paths on the upper lakes. Also recommended!

Showing Translation

After yesterday's beautiful introductory tour of the lower lakes, we did the tour of the upper lakes today, and it was just as beautiful.

I've already written general information about the national park on the "HR Plitvice Lakes Lower Lakes" tour.

Showing Translation

Very nice tour, with wonderful nature.

Under no circumstances should you take the train back. You almost have the way back to yourself and the crowds disappear.

Showing Translation

For general information about Plitvice Lakes Nature Park, see the explanation on Tour Day 1/1.

Today we explored the upper lakes. We also took a detour to the viewing platform. I like the upper lakes even better.

You have to see and hear it – indescribable!
Forgotten my phone charger, so here's Part II of Peter from the Lake.
