From the Istrian Peninsula, we headed to Plitvice Lakes National Park, located in central Croatia. The park is known for its 16 interconnected turquoise lakes, linked by a series of cascading waterfalls and surrounded by lush forests and meadows. We hiked the trails and took in the spectacular views of the lakes and waterfalls from a variety of viewpoints and bridges.
