Plitvice Lakes – Besides the lakes, the Plitvice forests become part of the tourist offer
The National
Park Plitvice Lakes, which has been included on the UNESCO list of World
Heritage since 1979, is widely known for its sixteen cascading lakes and
waterfalls but, since recently, visitors can get to know the beauty and
richness of the Plitvice forests as well.
With the aim of bringing the forest eco system closer and promoting the natural
values of the park, two educational recreation trails have been opened to
visitors – the 9 km long ‘Plitvica’ and the 21 km long ‘Čorkova Uvala’. The
trails are mainly of an educational character but because of their length and
configuration they can also be used for recreation purposes.
With the help of qualified guides and informative-educational (theme) boards
that have been put up along the two paths, visitors are offered the possibility
of getting to know the richness of the biological diversity of the park.
The paths are marked with mountaineering sign posts and arrows and must be
strictly followed, as well as following the code of conduct.
