Plitvice Lakes
On 17 km, you will have a chain of 16 lakes with emerald waters . Waters plans are linked by 92 waterfalls ...! in a perfect natual area, there is a lot of pines trees, maples and spruces, they are part of the Unesco World Heritage : the Plitvice National Park. Feel free to visit their website: http: / /www.np-plitvicka-jezera.hr. This park is at 1:30 of Pakostane.
I recommend you to leave early in the morning and to be the first to visit it ! You will have opportunity to buy in the parks sandwitchs, or even a hot meal. Count 4 hours to go around the park. The Plitvice Lakes National Park is a national park in Croatia, located halfway between the cities of Zagreb and Zadar. It was established in April 8, 1949 and added to the UNESCO List of World Heritage in 1979.
The park consists of 16 lakes in 92 waterfalls! In this Croatian national park, it will be usually 10 degrees cooler than on the seaside. It is therefore advisable to take a sweater with you off-season. Opposite : in the summer, it is great , you leave the hot weather of the seaside and enjoy fresh air in the park ... too bad we can not swim !
In winter (November to March), it's great: there is snow, it is possible outside of the park to ski !! Go there in winter is a very good idea, car rental companies will give you a car tire for snow and you can enjoy the forest, the branches full of snow and the roads are filled with snow. Half the park is open winter.
Extremely well organized, several roads are reported to go around this park, from 4 pm to 8 hours of hiking. All roads are well marked with letters, you just have to follow! A log-path goes around the park, but it is also possible to visit by using a panoramic train and cross the largest part of the lake by boats. (Which will make your trip shorter). Apart from the road and few facilities for tourists, nature is left in the wild, no human intervention are permitted. The park's forests are home to bears, wolves and many rare bird species. Plitvice lakes include 16 lakes has elevations ranging from 636 to 503 meters above the level of the sea.
Children will not get bored during hiking because along the way there are waterfalls and fish (lots of fish!) In the water! Which will occupy and amaze. At the midpoint you will find in nature, restaurant : pretty wooden houses, you will found hot meal or sandwiches, benches and tables close to the water. There is no easy access for the disabled, then we can take the input 1 and roll a wheelchair on the road overlooking the big waterfall "Veliki slap".
