Croatia's Plitvicka Lakes


On our last day in Croatia, we made the trip up to the Plitvice Lakes National park. Most of us thought it would be like other waterfalls we had seen. We couldn't be more wrong.

We got there about 4 o'clock and parked at the Entrance 1. Rick Steve's has this in his guide book because it has a great view of the big waterfall when you walk in.
We decided to walk to the boat and take a ride across the lakes and then take the train back. What we didn't realize is how small the walkways were to the boat dock. Sometimes it was even one small wood plank with people going both ways.
After we took the long boat ride across the river we decided to go all the way back across the lake to walk the pathways again when all the tourists are gone. It was WAY more peaceful and empty going back.Some of the best sights that we personally saw were the smaller waterfalls on the way to the boat and the big waterfall in the other direction.
Master Chef's favorite thing was the number of fish in the lake. Because no one can swim in the lakes, due to it being a national park, the fish live in an undisturbed habitat.

  

They also aren't really afraid of humans, no matter how hard Lord Byron tried.

 

Overall, the scenery was amazing...
