Visiting the Plitviče Lakes National Park

We visited the Plitviče Lakes National Park near the border of Bosnia & Herzegovina, about a two hour bus ride from Zadar.  The park is huge and has a lot of different paths that you can take to view the lakes and waterfalls, some take up to 8 hours to walk, but we chose path "C", which took 4 hours.  About 11,000 people visit the park every day in the high season.  The turquoise lakes are at different elevations, creating all the incredible falls.  We started at the lower lakes and made our way up to the top where you get a nice view of the wooden walkways.  The water is really clear so you can see fish all along the shores of the lakes.  The ticket includes a boat ride across one of the lakes and a shuttle to help you get back to the main entrance.
