It\u2019s a UNESCO World Heritage site and for good reason. The 16 lakes and 90 waterfalls are breathtakingly beautiful and are a real treat for nature lovers. The park is located about a two-hour drive outside the capital of Croatia: Zagreb.<\/p>\n<p>The park consists of a lower part (lower lakes) and a higher part (upper lakes). Transport between the lakes is possible on foot, by boat and by shuttle bus. Depending on the season in which you visit Plitvice, some parts of the national park will be closed for the time being.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" alt=\"Plitvice Jezera in winter\" class=\"wp-image-33544\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/plitvice-lakes-in-winter\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Plitvice Lakes in winter: all you need to know\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Jezera-1000x750.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Jezera-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Jezera-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Jezera-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Jezera-692x520.jpg 692w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Jezera-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Jezera.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The entrance to Plitvice Lakes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Plitvice_in_winter\"\/>About Plitvice in winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you are going to Plitvice National Park in the winter (November to March) there are a few things to keep in mind. Below I will list them one by one so you can decide whether you think a visit to Plitvice Lakes in winter is worth it.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Upper Lakes are closed, so you can only visit the lower part of the park.<\/li>\n<li>Forget the photos of the lush green trees covering the turquoise lakes, most of the trees are bare and brown. Or white, if you are lucky and see Plitvice Lakes covered in a layer of snow.<\/li>\n<li>Many hiking trails are closed in the winter. For example, during my recent visit (end of March) the entire canyon was closed because it was freezing, making it dangerous to enter those trails. As a result, we could only walk the part above from the entrance to the large lake and back.<\/li>\n<li>Many restaurants are closed and\/or have limited opening hours. So bring enough food and drinks for your day.<\/li>\n<li>The lower part of Plitvice Lakes is located at an altitude of about 700 meters above sealevel and it can be quite cold. I was there on a sunny day, but the temperature was still around freezing. Warm clothing plus a hat, scarf and gloves are definitely worth packing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" alt=\"The bare trees of Plitvice Lakes in winter\" class=\"wp-image-33546\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/plitvice-lakes-in-winter\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Plitvice Lakes in winter: all you need to know\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-National-Park-in-de-winter-1000x750.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-National-Park-in-de-winter-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-National-Park-in-de-winter-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-National-Park-in-de-winter-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-National-Park-in-de-winter-692x520.jpg 692w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-National-Park-in-de-winter-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-National-Park-in-de-winter.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The bare trees of Plitvice Lakes in winter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" alt=\"Visiting Plitvice Lakes in winter\" class=\"wp-image-33549\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/plitvice-lakes-in-winter\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Plitvice Lakes in winter: all you need to know\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Visiting-Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-1000x750.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Visiting-Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Visiting-Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Visiting-Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Visiting-Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-692x520.jpg 692w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Visiting-Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Visiting-Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This pretty view is usually available, also in winter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" alt=\"If the lake is not frozen, you can still catch a boat across the lower lake in Plitvice\" class=\"wp-image-33545\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/plitvice-lakes-in-winter\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Plitvice Lakes in winter: all you need to know\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-1000x750.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-692x520.jpg 692w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.we12travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Plitvice-Lakes-in-winter.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If the lake is not frozen, you can still catch a boat across the lower lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_I_enjoyed_Plitvice_Lakes_in_winter\"\/><strong>How I enjoyed Plitvice Lakes in winter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n<p>Let me start by saying that I had booked a tour to Plitvice without high expectations, partly because I knew that I would probably get a completely different picture of the park in winter than the summer images on the internet show you.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival in Plitvice, the guide immediately told us that there was a chance that we would not be able to enter the canyon because of the cold and this turned out to be the case. As the wooden planks were frozen and there was a layer of sleet on them, it was extremely dangerous to walk here. The canyon was therefore closed. I was quite disappointed at first, but I also knew that this can be the case when you are here in winter.<\/p>\n<p>What pleasantly surprised me was that there were hardly any other tourists. In total, I probably saw just some 50 during my four-hour visit to the park, a fraction of the thousands of visitors who visit every day in the summer. Our guide told me that winter is actually the best time of year to visit Plitvice Lakes because now you can take pictures in peace and enjoy the landscapes without being run over.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the boat across the lower lake was still going, so we still saw this part of Plitvice Lakes. The bare trees gave the landscape a somewhat dark view, but the absence of large groups of tourists was an absolute plus. There were no queues anywhere and I could even get on the boat.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason to choose Plitvice in the winter is that the entrance fee from November to March is only 10 euros per person, in the summer months this is no less than 40 euros per person! If you go with a family, it makes a considerable difference!
