Lost in Plitvice Lakes National Park 2025

Unfortunately, our diversion would prove to be the longer way around. Several “panoramic trains” (they are buses) passed us. But they would only stop at their two designated pick-up and drop-off spots miles away.

The road wound high above the lake, then dipped and backtracked before crossing a stream to enter the hotel zone. We considered going off track again to meet up with the other side of the curved road.

The undergrowth was dense, so we stuck to the long, winding road. In hindsight, it would have been quicker and wiser to retrace our steps from Lake Galovac to P2. From there, a short ferry ride would have taken us to P1, near our meeting spot. (See park map above).
