Croatia Plitvice Lakes - Lower Lake View Point

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This is my favourite spot for capturing the beauty of Plitvice Lakes without a drone or heli ;-)
Plitvice Lakes is so full of beautiful spots that you can easily spend a whole day to take hundreds of beautiful pictures, it's definitely worth a visit. And if you stop by, make sure to leave the tourist-packed trails along the shores. This spot is easy to reach from the restaurant (just a couple of minute's walk), but it's not nearly as crowded as the rest of the national park (we were there almost alone for a quarter of an hour), so you can enjoy the beauty of the spot all by yourself.

Photography Tips

Easy shot, especially if you avoid a time around early afternoon when you might have to cope with frontlighting, since you shoot straight to the south.

Travel Information

Take the footpath uphill from the junction of the lower and the upper lakes where the restaurant is located right at the quay for the lake boats. The footpath leads to the road on top of the cliffs (towards the other great photo location, see my other shot). Use every small trail to the right of the road to explore several viewpoints, with this one (the first on the path) being the best imho.

I found it a bit challenging to find this spot at first. If you are at the restaurant on the lake, walk up the Tar road and keep going up. Then keep going even if you think you going out the park. You need to go through a boom gate and gard house to find it. The ideal thing about this spot is you can reach it by car as well from the other side and dont even need tickets for the lakes. You can drive here early and get great pictures... I really recommend it.
