Interesting facts about Plitvice Lakes

Veliki Slap

Croatia’s tallest waterfall at 78 meters — a highlight of the Lower Lakes.

Sunken barrier in Kozjak

About 400 years ago Kozjak was two lakes; the submerged travertine barrier can still be seen from the boat on sunny days.

Šupljara Cave

A popular 68-meter cave stop with views into the Lower Lakes canyon and three halls of stalactites and stalagmites.

Deep underground

Golubnjača Cave stretches 165 m; Čudinka pit reaches 203 m — among more than 100 caves in the park.

Good to know before you go

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes for wooden paths, stairs and narrow sections — strollers are not practical.
  • Dress in layers; park temperatures are usually cooler than surrounding coastal areas.
  • Pack sunglasses and sunscreen for sunny stretches; bring water and snacks.
  • Carry ID or passport.
  • After a boat unloads near Kozjak, food spots and toilets pack for 15–20 minutes — eating ~10 minutes before a boat arrives often avoids queues.
  • Look straight down from boardwalks for fish, submerged trunks and travertine under the surface.
  • Dining options include Lička kuća near Entrance 1, Poljana Restaurant at Velika Poljana, and Restaurant Jezero at Hotel Jezero.
  • For a fully private pace, consider upgrading to the Plitvice Lakes Private Tour.
