This day tour of Plitvice lakes from Split is a perfect tour for all staying in Split and trying to make the most of their holiday in Croatia. Plitvice National Park was founded in 1949 and became famous during the 1960s and 1970s through several Western film productions of Karl May novels. Many scenes were shot at the lakes or waterfalls. The geographic position of the Plitvice Lakes and the specific climate features contributed to the emergence of many natural phenomena and a rich biodiversity within this area. Despite the vicinity to the Mediterranean, a moderate mountainous climate prevails due to the Velebit mountain range, which acts as a climatic separator between the coastal and continental region. For centuries, legends have been created about these mythical lakes, rivers and waterfalls. According to one legend, inhabitants of the region were craving water and called upon the magic queen to help them, which she did by creating the Plitvice lakes. The availability of water has a great impact on the biodiversity of this area. The forested mountain slopes serve as water reservoirs and as a refuge for many animal species. The wider area of the national park is one of the last areas in Europe where wolves and brown bears can be found. About 50 species of mammals and 321 different species of butterflies live in this region. Explore the hidden pathways of Plitvice.

Our emphasis will be on UNESCO protected Velebit mountain range, the most beautiful in Croatia, which offers fantastic scenery and views. This full day trip begins and ends in Zadar. It is done in the air conditioned vehicle. First we will visit 2 attractive viewpoints to Maslenica bridge and river Zrmanja where Indian village from famous German Winnetou movies stood. Then we will cross over the Velebit range via historic Master's Road and pass below scenic limestone cliffs of Tulove Grede, where we will do a 2h easy and scenic hike with great views. From there we will continue over the Velebit range and cross to its heavily forested northern side, with primeval forests. Then we will descend to lush green mountainous Lika region and proceed to visit beautiful Cerovačke Špilje (Cerovac Caves) (entrance is 11€ for one cave and 15€ for both caves, this is the only additional cost during the tour). After cave visit we will cross Velebit again and descend to river Zrmanja for a refreshing swim in its crystal clear waters (summer season).
