Bergtour / Tour #147785
Hike 05 Plitvica

The remarkable experience of the Park is even more exciting if one takes a closer look at its forest ecological systems, prevailing on over three-quarters of its surface. These instructive trails tell stories about the forest systems native to the Plitvice lakes area that harbour biodiversity helping the lake ecosystems proliferate. The trails lead through large forest complexes and mountain meadows with wonderful viewpoints. Boards accompany the itinerary, leading the reader through enchanting forest wildlife habitats and historical and cultural sights of this area. The trails are quite long and the terrain varies, so explorers will also benefit from its recreational aspects.

The forests and meadows are home to various wildlife species such as bear, wolf, roe deer, red deer, lynx and wildcat. Therefore, if you are lucky enough, you may encounter some of these on the way! If this does not happen, though, the tracks they leave are also interesting (prints, excrement etc.) Birdsong (woodpeckers and singing birds) in harmony with the creaking of centennial tree branches swaying in the wind create an unforgettable symphony of nature.
