Hvar: The Island

If we are ever given an opportunity to revisit just one day out of the 15 that we spent in Croatia, we would, in a heartbeat, choose our second day on the island of Hvar. It was not a day on which we saw any extraordinary monuments like in Pula, Poreč, Šibenik and Split or visited any natural wonder like Plitvice. What made this day … Continue reading Hvar: The Island

Hvar: The Town

Croatia is renowned for its stunning islands which number more than 700 but our itinerary only allowed us enough time to visit one of them. Well, in reality, the choice wasn’t so wide. We had to choose an island which lies between the cities of Split and Dubrovnik and could engage us for two days, so it came down to three options – Brač, Hvar … Continue reading Hvar: The Town

It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.
The next highlight of our route was the splendid Galovački Buk Waterfall where we stopped to take a few photos. Some of the lakes in this section of the park were quite small and shallow, and the crystal-clear water gave us an unimpeded view of the submerged trees and plant life in these lakes.
Just a few minutes after leaving Lake Kozjak behind, our eyes fell upon a spectacular waterfall. Semicircular in shape and consisting of multiple streams of water, Veliki Prštavac Waterfall is the second highest and one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the park.
Close to 2.5 km in length and covering an area of 82 hectares, Lake Kozjak is by far the largest lake of the park. The trails offered by the park include an 18km long option that allows one to walk along the shores of the entire Lake Kozjak but fortunately, our trail involved an electric boat ride across the lake. We joined a short line for the boat and soon got on one. Engrossed in the mesmeric scenery around us, we didn’t even notice when we reached the other shore of the lake. We got down from the boat, took a few more pictures of Lake Kozjak and began our tour of the upper lakes.
Which is the one place you wanted to visit this year but couldn't because of the virus? For us it was Meghalaya. Firstly didn't want to travel abroad with a toddler. Secondly north-east is a place we have been wanting to explore since ages as we love nature trails.
Kaluderovac Lake seeming to stretch for miles.
Our first destination was Veliki Slap which, at 78 m high, is the highest waterfall in Croatia. The path to Veliki Slap, which was a detour from the main path, was predictably the most crowded that we encountered in the entire park. With the queue moving quite slowly, it took us a few minutes to reach the waterfall and when we finally saw it from up close, it won’t be wrong to say that we were quite underwhelmed. Sure it was high but not extraordinarily so and even the water flow was less. Maybe the season that we visited in had something to do with the reduced water flow.
Just a few minutes after we entered the park, we came upon the heavenly sight of huge limestone cliffs covered with greenery and in the midst of them, two of the most famous waterfalls of the park, Veliki Slap and Sastavci, tumbling down into clear blue pools. This one image succinctly summed up why this park is considered a natural wonder. 
As we quickly made our way down towards the lakes, the scenery started becoming more and more stunning with each step. We soon reached the wooden walkways which are no less than the lifeline of the park. It is this well-laid-out system of wooden walkways that provides a unique experience to visitors by allowing them to walk not only beside the lakes but at times, even over the lakes.
