Plitvice Lakes National Park - we vote it best national park we've ever visited, with 16 terraced lakes and an incredible maze of planked walkways bringing us up close and personal with these natural beauties. The water is crystal clear, but even more breathtaking is the forested area that surrounds each of these lakes. The park, just a few miles from the Bosnian border, was home to the 1990s war between Croatia and Yugoslavia - and on the drive from Pula to Plitvice, bombed out buildings and bullet ridden barns were easily seen from the two lane highway that took us through otherwise beautiful little towns and lush forests. The park is very well managed, with electric boats and trams to transport from various lakes and trails back to the park hotels - and even with the well designed transport system, we still logged 10 miles of hiking. True joy! Enlarge the below photos to get a better glimpse of what this gem of a park has to offer, which really doesn't do it justice.
