Introduction

The Lower Lakes are the lower-elevation section of Plitvice Lakes National Park (the 'Sixteen Lakes'), a chain of emerald lakes linked by travertine barriers and cascading waterfalls — the park's classic hiking stretch. Wooden boardwalks thread among waters that shift from jade to deep blue with minerals and light; the tallest, Veliki Slap, drops 78 metres in the park's most spectacular curtain. Linked to the upper lakes by boat and shuttle, the Lower Lakes offer gentle, open trails and are the must-visit core of this UNESCO natural wonder.
