ZAGREB – PLITVICE DAY TOUR

Plitvice Tour from Zagreb

We start our Plitvice private tour from Zagreb at the arranged time from your accommodation or agreed location.

The first location of Plitvice lakes tour is a small village Rastoke, near the city of Slunj.  There you will have a short break for sightseeing, taking photos and a cup of coffee surrounded by the beautiful waterfalls. Rastoke Millers Village is a place with a striking river that transforms into many waterfalls like Hrvoje, Buk and Vilina kosa (Fairy’s hair). Rastoke is actually a great introduction to the Plitvice Lakes National Park. Nature and people live in harmony there which is the main reason why Rastoke is also protected by the regional institute for protection of cultural monuments.

We will continue to the Plitvice Lakes National Park and start a tour of the 16 beautiful lakes that includes walks around the park, sailing on the lake by boat and driving with a tourist train. Plitvice Lakes National Park is the most popular park in Croatia and is listed in the UNESCO world heritage list. The Park is a part of the Dinara Karst area which is characterized by carbonate bedrock, numerous karst forms and the rare occurrence of surface flows. The vast amount of water and lake creation in such areas is a unique and precious sight.

After Plitvice lakes you have the option to recharge your energy at a local dairy farm where you can taste many varieties of award winning domestic cheese. The last location to visit is the Croatian Independence War Museum in Karlovac located in the former backyard of a ruined Austro-Hungarian military base.
