Situated about somewhere between the Croatian capital Zagreb and Zadar on the shoreline of the Adriatic Sea, Plitvice Lakes are an enchanted universe of living, moving water encompassed by antiquated backwoods, 16 lakes connected by cascades, spans normal and man-made, and 300 square kilometers of wild magnificence brimming with bears, wolves, hogs, and fowls.
The distinction in height between 1,280 meters at the most astounding point and 280 meters at the least makes an apparently interminable number of falls, of all shapes and sizes, that forever fill the air with splash and haze. Wooden and regular walkways and climbing trails turn around and over the lake and a ship on Lake Kozjak transports individuals between the upper and lower lakes. The lakes are delightful lasting through the year, yet particularly while reflecting mysterious fall hues or the fancy solidified parts of the encompassing trees.
