Plitvice and Zagreb Trip by ELB ✘ 3-4 May

Plitvice Lakes is the oldest and largest national park in Croatia. The park is situated in the mountainous region of the country. 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 lake system consists of 16 named and several smaller unnamed lakes, cascading one into the next.

The process of tufa formation, which results in the building of the tufa, or travertine, barriers and resulted in the creation of the lakes, is the outstanding universal value, for which the Plitvice Lakes were internationally recognized in 1979 with their inscription onto the UNESCO World Heritage List.

You will have guided sightseeing to explore this wonderful city.

The city of Zagreb, capital of Croatia, on the historic and political threshold between East and West, illustrates both the continental and mediterranean spirit of the nation it spearheads. A city that warmly invites all those who wish to get to know it, and a city that will surely fulfill your expectations. In this city, you can easily meet remarkable people, make new friends and enjoy special moments.

After Zagreb we will head to the beautiful little town, Rastoke – also known as “Small Plitvice” and is connected to the Plitvice Lakes by the Korana river. Rastoke is a place of autochthonous ecologic and ethnographic significance due to its symbiosis of natural and civilizational features.

By the end of the day and after 40 minutes of traveling by bus, we will arrive at the accommodation.

You will have an option to have dinner together.

🥈 DAY 2

We will discover the magical Plitvice National Park, which has been part of Unesco’s World Heritage list since 1979. The lake system consists of 16 named and several smaller unnamed lakes, cascading one into the next.

After the tour we will head back to Budapest. You can expect a late evening arrival time.
