Phot-o' the Day: Looking Down Into Upper Plitvice Lakes; Pletvica Selo, Croatia


I was talking about Plitvice Lakes, Croatia, just the other day, so I thought it was time to post a picture. You can see the wooden walkways just above the water's surface, which you walk on to see the sights. And you can see a cave in the cliffside.

Plitvice Lakes is a series of lakes separated by waterfalls in Central Croatia. If you see Croatia on a map, it looks like a horseshoe with the open prongs facing east and southeast. Plitvice Lakes is at the near end of the southeast prong of the horseshoe. Or you could look it up on Google maps.

I've been twice. Two totally different experiences. In 2014, the park was completely flooded after a summer of incessant rain. And the rain was coming down hard during the visit. The good news is that the waterfalls were full of water and looked amazingly impressive. In 2019, the sun was out, the temperatures were mild, and the weather was perfect. I'm not complaining, but the waterfalls were smaller and weaker because, of course there is going to be more water when you're in the middle of a flood.

The sun is out in the above picture, which means it is from the October 2019 trip.
