Seasonal conditions
Operates according to current Upper Lakes access and park transport schedules; confirm conditions before departure.
ROUTE
A walk through the twelve forested Upper Lakes — the longer, quieter, more expansive half of Plitvice, from Entrance 2.
ABOUT THIS ROUTE
Program H focuses on the Upper Lakes — the twelve higher lakes spread across a wider, more forested valley than the canyon below. Where the Lower Lakes are narrow and vertical, the Upper Lakes are a sequence of broad travertine terraces stepping down through beech and fir forest, with long cascading barriers rather than vertical drops. Being further from both entrances, they hold the quietest stretches of boardwalk in the park. The route starts from Entrance 2, crosses Kozjak by electric boat to reach the upper trailheads, walks the terraces, and returns by boat and train. The distance and time below are typical; confirm the day’s boat and train timetable at the entrance.
PLAN RESPONSIBLY
Operates according to current Upper Lakes access and park transport schedules; confirm conditions before departure.
Follow the official marked program and do not enter closed boardwalks or forest paths. Transport availability and route access can change, so follow current park signage and staff instructions rather than relying only on a previously saved itinerary.
