What you'll see
A tall ribbon of water dropping over a cliff into the canyon at the bottom of the lakes; walk right up to its foot, then climb to the viewpoint above.
A brief history
At about 78 metres it's the highest waterfall in Croatia. It isn't fed by the lakes but by the Plitvica stream, which runs off the plateau above.
Tips
- Best time
