Rastoke
Where the Slunjčica River plunges into the Korana River, forming many small waterfalls with wooden water mills scattered among them, sometimes called the "Little Sixteen Lakes."
Rastoke lies beside the town of Slunj, about 30 km from the northern entrance of Plitvice. The Slunjčica River splits into many channels across the limestone tufa terraces, and where it joins the Korana, it forms waterfalls and pools of all sizes. Since the 18th century, residents have built water mills here, and some survive today. You can buy tickets to visit the old mills and waterfalls on the trails, and there is a restaurant serving trout. The ruins of Slunj Old Town are nearby and can be visited along the way. The drive takes about 30 minutes.
