  1. HISTORY OF NATIONAL PARK PLITVICE LAKES

    Plitvice Lakes National Park and the surrounding area are a place of human presence and life from prehistory to the present. The area has been settled and thrived because of its abundance of water, forest, flora, and fauna, natural shelters, and a variety of reliefs. In the Middle Ages immigrant Croats and Romanized Japods are brought together, and medieval fortifications were often built on former prehistoric forts. One of the most important medieval fortifications is Mrsinj grad, which was well fortified, built at the highest altitude of all the fortifications in Lika and Krbava, and nearby is the Fortress Prozor Grad.

  2. THE BEGINNING OF DEVELOPMENT AND THE PERIOD BEFORE WORLD WAR I

    Due to the dangers of war and the lack of roads and paths, Plitvice Lakes were unknown to the general public until the second half of the 19th century. Since there were no trails and no settlements, it was impossible to access the lakes. A record of Frederick Augustus II's visit to Plitvice Lakes and his climb of the mountain Licka Pljecivica was made in 1845, and the king himself drew several pictures exhibiting the motifs of Plitvice Lakes.

  3. THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS

    Plitvice Lakes were almost abandoned during the First World War, and civil societies, including the Plitvice Lakes Society, were abolished by a ban order in 1914. Since 1919, the Society has organized regular annual assemblies since it reopened following the war. It seems that there were many proposals, plans, and wishes for the regulation of this area during the first few years of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, then the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, but nothing was really done about it. As a result, the natural harmony of the landscape was disturbed, at that time, by the use of concrete and various construction works in sensitive locations.

  4. PERIOD FROM 1995 TO 2020

    In 1995, a new cycle of renovation of the hotel and visitor infrastructure began. Over the next ten years, the number of visitors returns to pre-war levels, and then continues to rise so that in 2011, for the first time in history, the millionth visitor is logged in one year. In the following years, the number of visitors increases even more, and in 2017, there were 1.72 million visitors, making Plitvice Lakes National Park the most visited national park in Croatia. Due to the large number of visitors during the summer, the visitor infrastructure and the lake part of the National Park are greatly burdened, and since 2019, a limit of 1,200 visitors per hour has been imposed.

  • One of the most majestic places I have visited in my life, the winter landscape is beautiful, as well as the paths to walk for hours with a different landscape every 3 meters. The waterfalls are incredible and it is a super good space to go with pets and be there for at least 3 or 4 hours touring the place. The staff was very friendly
