Visit Plitvice Lake in Croatia

“The landscape was constantly changing, from unreal turquoise lakes to forest clearings where the sun rays were sneaking in and again to lakes, this time with light blue shades, with shallow waters where hundreds of fish were swarming in peace right next to the narrow path where, this time, no one else was walking. Such a bliss! For a few minutes I was all alone, sitting in the shade, watching all those fish so close I could touch them and hearing nothing but the birds.”

“For the first few hours, the only other person we saw was a lone Japanese tourist, and we only saw her once. Being early spring, the green was just starting to pop, and we could easily see through the brush. The top waterfalls all seemed a bit of a distance away, but as we descended they got closer and closer to the path. In fact, there were parts of the path where the water was rushing underneath or right beside us. It was easy to look down and see the fish.”

“The only way to describe Plitvice is by saying I felt like we entered a place where Jurassic Park met a jungle version of the Grand Canyon. It was majestic and overwhelming, and there was something beautiful around every bend. We had countless moments where we mumbled out loud about how breathtaking everything was.”
