Veliki slap (Great Waterfall)
Veliki slap
Croatia's tallest waterfall, where the Plitvica River plunges 78 metres from a cliff into the gorge of the Lower Lakes.
The Great Waterfall sits at the northern end of the Lower Lakes, where the Plitvica River flows into the lake system. It is not formed by lake water overflowing. From the viewing platform at Entrance 1, you can take in the waterfall and the gorge, then follow the zigzag path down to the valley floor, where you can reach the foot of the falls and feel the mist. In peak season, crowds are heavy after 10 a.m., and photos require queuing. Paths are slippery after rain. The waterfall is included in the national park ticket, and Routes A, B and C all pass it.
