ITINERARY:
DAY 1
ZAGREB – RASTOKE – PLITVICE LAKES
Welcome to Zagreb – the capital of Croatia. We will meet you at the airport, bus or train station or in front of your accommodation. After the pickup, we are heading towards the Plitvice lakes area driving on a wonderful country road. Our first stop is at Rastoke village – a wonderful fairytale village with authentic wooden houses and mills with numerous waterfalls (if you are a LOTR fan – I am just going to say – Riverdale ). Our next location is the National Park Plitvice lakes – the biggest, most popular and oldest national park in Croatia. UNESCO declared Plitvice Lakes as a world heritage in 1979 among the first in the world. It consists of 16 crystal blue lakes, divided into upper and lower ones with wonderful waterfalls of all sizes and shapes. Of course, we will have a lunch break some time in between. All that nature and fresh air will probably get you tired so we are heading to the accommodation for a good night sleep. Overnight.
DAY 2
PLITVICE – MREŽNICA RIVER – PLITVICE
Rise and shine… let’s get you wet! We start early and only 1h away, Mrežnica river is hiding its secrets. What better way to discover them then with a raft boat or kayak. Beautiful waterfalls, rapids, travertine barriers and turquoise river will leave you speechless and happy. The tour will end around 15:00h when you will be hungry enough so we will have lunch in one of the local restaurants. We are ending the day with a visit to Deer Valley where you will get the chance to feed and hang out with deer and relax in a wonderful pine forest. Overnight.
DAY 3
PLITVICE – PETROVA HILL – ZAGREB
After breakfast you can choose the activity – Horseback riding through a beautiful ranch and fields around or a quad safari.
No matter which you choose after it you are going to be hungry, so our trip continues to another local restaurant. On our way back to Zagreb we are taking you on a little bit different adventure – urban exploration – often shortened as URBEX or UE is the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins that were once important and in use. Petrova hill is an perfect example of that hiding two secrets: an abandoned WW2 partisan forest hospital and one of the popular „Spomeniks“– memorial structure built during Tito’s Yugoslavia to honor people’s resistance during the WWII.
