    Thank you so much for doing that trip in the rain. It may have even been more beautiful because of all the rain. That was just gorgeous, a little paradise.

      Oh, It is much prettier in the sun. The coluours look like God photoshoped it. It is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. But they do overcharge it during peak season. One of the reasons is to deter overcrowding and of course to make money. I suggest visiting it in the spring or winter.

      I muted the sound during the music segments. My weakness: I'm a musician and have listened now for 75 years. I no longer enjoy background music, but I thrive on the sounds heard in nature. Birds and flowing water are among the best. Thanks for an illuminating view of Croatia. Beautiful!

    so happy you are finally in my country! Been following you guys for a while, you have the most amazing, down to earth, practical videos. Hope you will visit Vis Island, Dubrovnik, Sibenik, Zadar....and then my Istria...Rovinj, Motovun, Groznjan, Pula. P.S. Hopefully you'll have a chance to come back to Plitvice on a sunny day...huge difference, also huge crowds...but it's worth it. Muito obrigada, bjos :)

    Plitvice are magical in every season of year. it is first national park(out of 8) and reason why swimming is prohibited is to preserve delicate flora and fauna of the lakes. Lakes(19) are part of huge area surrounded by ancient forest which is home to variety of wild life...bears,wolves,jackals,linx,beavers,badgers,deer to name a few...Croatia is part of Arboreal kingdom,since 40% of country is covered with forests and there are between 50 000-100 000 animal and plant species. we are like Earth packed in small package...there is volcano in Croatia and smallest sand desert in the world...by area...so we have everything. 3 climate zones with temperatures vary from -30 to +40.
    Plitvice are located in part what is known as DInaric alps and the mountainous area is of karst topography....limestone with God knows how many caves and pits we have....2nd deepest pit(its a cave but it goes steep down 1430m) in the world is here,its called Lukina jama(Luke`s pit)(Velebit mountain) and we still dont know where is the bottom cause its to dangerous to dive thru those underground rivers at narrow places. perhaps with some modern drone technology pit can be explored further and deeper.
    if you would to visit national park Northern Velebit consult with experts. Dont venture to mauntains here in Croatia without consulting and preparing!!! Mountain rescue service are busy all summer due to smartass tourists who go to mountains in flip flops and get injured or lost.
    For your viewers...Croatia is home of 15 snake species of which 3 are venomous. they are very very active during summer and can be found even on trees among branches sunbathing. they all have zig zag pattern of scales and the most venomous have horn on the nose hence the name,nose horned viper.
    so make noise and watch your step. of course as with most snakes they wont attack if not injured or provoked.
    and please do have in mind that there are many endemic plants and basically all wild life is protected.
    for example...if you would be so lucky to spot European seal,fine for just disturbing the animal is 15 000 euros.
    We are not allowed to kill a wolf no matter how many sheep farmers would lose....unless they have spare 40 000.
    so enjoy your vacation,visit,fill up your batteries,enjoy nature like it should be everywhere in the world

    Wow this National Park in Croatia is so beautiful with all those waterfalls and the blue water is amazing. Is there a designated hot springs in that vicinity? It sure seems like there's some kind of geothermal source of water around there. Thanks for yet again another country to add to my bucket list.

    @JumpingPlaces You said that you were baptized Catholic and grew up that way. Since you are in Croatia, I would recommend that you visit the many places of pilgrimage there and perhaps talk to a priest. You are very close to places of grace and just have to allow our dear Mother to embrace you. Try the rosary. God loves you both! I pray for you!

    When I went it also was raining and dropped down to 13 degrees which I was not prepared for 😅 but I did love the mood of the mist over the water. The seasonal price difference is crazy. When I went in 2021 I pushed my visit back a day to October 1st because prices dropped from €35 to €20. You def made the right choice choosing Plitvice. Krka is the same price and not nearly as good. I walked the whole park in 30 min and was very underwhelmed.

    • @kreso6689

    Honestly better to go on a day like this. When I went even on a cloudy day the boardwalks around the big waterfalls were slammed with people and there were massive queues for the boats.
    BTW Krka banned swimming a few years ago :( still a beautiful loop also but only 1.25 miles while Plitvice is like 5 miles haha
