With best time and price management we are going to take you directly from Ljubljana to Plitvice Lakes. With its exceptional natural beauty, this area has always attracted nature lovers, and already in 1949, it was proclaimed Croatia’s first national park. The process of tufa formation, which results in the building of the tufa, or travertine, barriers resulted in the creation of the 16 magical lakes. Outstanding universal and natural value, for which the Plitvice Lakes were internationally recognized in 1979 as UNESCO World Heritage Sight. Any time of the year, spring to winter, enjoy different faces and colors of natural lakes and waterfalls in this amazing environment UNESCO protected Plitvice Lakes.
Small group approach with carefully planned time, where experienced local tour operator’s chauffeur guide will collect you at designated location for an informative ride of 3 hours through South East Slovenia to Croatian border and further to one of Croatia's most beautiful national parks Plitvice to start your unique experience.
The National Park covers a total area of 300 square kilometers, whilst the lakes join together over a distance of eight kilometers. There’s also quite an altitude difference – the highest point is at 1,280m, the lowest at 380m – although the total height difference between the lakes themselves is only 135m. (Veliki Slap, the largest waterfall, is 70m tall.) The lake system is comprised of 16 named and several smaller unnamed lakes, cascading one into the next. Due to the geological substrate and characteristic hydrogeological conditions, the lake system has been divided into the Upper and Lower lakes. The Lower Lakes, consisting of the lakes Milanovac, Gavanovac, Kaluđerovac and Novakovića Brod, were formed in permeable limestone substrate, cut into a deep canyon with steep cliffs. The lakes end in the impressive waterfalls Sastavci, with the Korana River springing under the base of the falls.
Upon arrival to Plitvice you’ll start a tour of the lakes protected area; well marked wooden paths will take you along picturesque lakes divided in two sections, Upper and Lower lakes. National Park offers visitors seven different routes to tour the lake system, and four hiking trails. During November through March only Lower lakes are accessible to visitors.
After an interesting full day experience of this UNESCO gem we will take a ride back to Slovenia and return arrive to Ljubljana in evening hours. Drop off will be at same location as pick up.
