Christmas time at the Plitvice Lakes

How do you picture wintertime at the Plitvice Lakes? The white blanket of snow turns your visit into a special experience as you walk by the blue-green lakes. The silence of nature will fill you with the extraordinary energy of the winter idyll that provides health and refreshment.

Winter idyll at the Plitvice Lakes

Moving makes us happier and relaxed and improves our psychophysical condition. Spending time in nature makes us calmer, frees our spirit, and reduces stress.

Since the 1980s, ski and sledding equipment could be rented here for complete winter enjoyment.
