This morning you will be collected by your private driver and journey two hours southwest to Plitvice Lake National Park. Set in the mountainous landscape of central Croatia, the park's most striking feature is the terraced river system. It was formed by chalk sediment over time to create a vast number of lakes and waterfalls which are magical to see. You will meet your private guide here for a tour along the wooden walkways. There will also be time for a short boat ride on one of the lower lakes. Afterwards, you will visit the town of Rastoke, an important mill town dating back over 300 years.
