I needed a break from exploring cities, so I spent an afternoon getting back to nature (along with what seemed like a million other European nature lovers) exploring the Plitvicka Jezera National Park about two hours south of Zagreb. I still can’t believe how brilliantly blue-green and crystal clear the lakes were. You could see to the bottom, including countless fish. If you happy to visit Croatia (and I think you should – it’s a wonderful place and I’m looking forward to coming back to explore it more with Scott), a trip to Plitvicka Jezera needs to be on your list!
