Introduction

Lake Kozjak is the largest and centrally placed lake of Plitvice Lakes National Park, a long arm lying between the Upper and Lower Lakes and the water gateway of the park's route. Calm and wide, it is crossed by electric eco-boats that ferry walkers from one fall zone to the next. Lakeside boardwalks and viewpoints offer changing angles of water and hills, most dreamlike at dawn before the mist lifts. As the transport and scenic heart of the park, Kozjak gently joins the two halves of the Sixteen Lakes.
