Amazing Experience
This was a fantastic experience! We loved every part of the Plitvice Lakes, and it was memorable! Plitvice Lakes national park is heavenly beautiful, and very well protected. Going on an organized trip was a good choice because we got many valuable insights. You should keep in mind that the park is in the continental part of Croatia, and when we visited it, there was a huge temperature difference. A little bit cold, but fortunately, there was a souvenir shop that sold hoodies.
