Plitvice Lakes National Park

Mentioned on 
+125 other lists 
National park
Nature & Parks
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a stunning destination in the heart of Croatia, known for its picturesque lakes, alpine forests, waterfalls, and caves. It's an ideal place for romantic getaways or family adventures. Couples can enjoy enchanting lookouts, romantic walks along the trails with the soothing sounds of waterfalls, and a stay at Jezero Hotel followed by a romantic dinner at Licka Kuca restaurant.
Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of pure, awe-inspiring beauty. The 16 lakes, connected by countless waterfalls and cascades in stunning turquoise-blue hues, are a true paradise. Walking on the wooden boardwalks allows you to get close to the water, feel the mist of the falls and see almost to the bottom of the lakes. It's an absolute must-do for any nature lover. Important points on the trails and walking conditions: The park offers a variety of routes (like C, H, F, E etc.) that combine walking, a boat ride on Lake Kozjak, and use of a shuttle. Most of the walking paths and boardwalks are very narrow, slippery, and sometimes uneven, and the park gets extremely crowded, therefore in my opinion the trails are not suitable for baby strollers or wheelchairs, also - access is difficult for people with walking difficulties or seniors who require stability. Recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip. Tickets: Recommended to book tickets online in advance for a specific time slot and entrance (1 or 2), as the daily visitor capacity is limited and tickets sell out quickly. It's best to arrive as early as possible (right at opening time) to avoid the biggest crowds. Paid parking is available at both entrances (make sure to park at the entrance for which you bought your ticket). Along the paths, there are several rest points with WCs and some places to buy food, but it's a bit pricey, so you can bring some water, sandwiches, or snacks. In summary, this is an amazing natural wonder that is worth every effort.
Eran I — Google review
Wow! Fantastic experience! You could easily spend the whole day at the park. There are number of trails leading around the lakes and under the waterfalls. Every part of it looks do beautiful. The water is extremely clean and the colours vary from light blue to turquoise green. It’s a must go destination in Croatia
Alice K — Google review
Absolutely stunning nature, I felt like I was wandering through the loveliest dream. Aside from the obvious, the forest itself is incredibly beautiful, soft, nurturing, with ivy covered trees, moss adorned rocks, and colorful leaves blanketing the forest floor. I highly recommend coming in mid to late October for the fall foliage, it imbues a mystical quality to this already enchanted place.
Chantal L — Google review
Very beautiful park and easy to access. We was lucky to get 2 versions of the scenery. We came late on day 1 (17 Nov), so we decided to revisit in the next day. There was significant snow and the scenery had changed. Although we couldn't go to your lakes due to the weather, the scenery in lower lakes was fantastic.
Gahwin R — Google review
Such a beautiful serene environment, walking on the trails did get a bit busy at times but once you're in its amazing to see little pockets of natural beauty, clear waters, different varieties of fish, plants and many jaw dropping waterfalls, too many to count. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Croatia.
A W — Google review
This park is really fantastic. We were here for two days. Walked about 30 km. Some areas quite busy (great waterfall). If possible i recommend an early start to avoid the tourists coming in by busloads. The lakes are great and everything is remarkably clean. We had a great time, highlight of our trip to Croatia.
M.pepers — Google review
It's no wonder the Plitvice Lakes are called Croatia's main attraction. It's a vast and incredibly beautiful national park. We visited in the summer, so everything was blooming and green. The park's highlight is the many waterfalls it has. Here, the waterfalls resemble delicate lace, an exquisite interplay of streams and intertwining water flows - there waterfalls upon waterfalls. If you're in Croatia, don't miss the opportunity to admire this spectacle! Some of the hiking trails will easily last a few hours, so prepare to spend a full day here.
Mat B — Google review
Great planning in the national park, with bus and boat inclusive with the ticket which is unbelievable at this kind of world-famous tourist spot. Experienced route H, spent around 5 hours and quite easy to walk, thanks for the bus taking us uphill and start at the top with over 80% of the journey are downhill. Fall season should be promoted more, the view is amazing, weather is comfortable but obviously there are not many visitors during Oct.

Church of St. George

Mentioned on 
+10 other lists 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
The Church of St. George, located in the old part of Primosten, is a historic gem dating back to the 15th century and underwent significant reconstruction in 1760. It houses precious religious artifacts such as the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary with silver adornments and a painting by Master Cusi from 1719. The church sits atop a hill offering stunning panoramic views of Primosten, making it an ideal spot to visit, especially at sunset.
St. George’s Church in Primošten is a beautiful historic site, perched atop the island with stunning views. First recorded in 1681, it offers a peaceful and scenic spot to explore. A charming alleyway leads up to the church from the main square, adding to the experience of wandering through the old town. Worth a visit for both its history and picturesque setting!"
Yo L — Google review
Great views and nice places to sit after the hike up. I was not expecting the cemetery. So many more recent burials in a very old town. Intriguing.

Slight incline path up to amazing church cemetery and view.
Loc M — Google review
St. George’s Church is one of the most beautiful sites in Primošten. The church at the top of the island was first recorded in 1681 by the glagolitic parish priest Pavo Bernic. A nice alleyway leads here from the main square in the old town (and from other directions as well). There is a graveyard surrounding the church so it’s important to be respectful and not just look for nice views of Primošten walking over the graves. There are also public toilets at the site that were open and free. You should definitely visit this beautiful place. This is a nice location to witness wonderful Primošten sunsets.
Aljosa T — Google review
A special place where you could find inner peace.
Vlad P — Google review
Very nicely arranged surroundings of the church. A neatly path from the market (by the way there is a non-payable toilet). The interior is not so rich, but it is a beautiful church. Beautiful view of the surrounding area (the sea, the city ...), although the viewpoint is a cemetery (it is not good if we atep on a grave to take a good picture of Surrounding nature...). Otherwise it's worth a visit.
Damjan R — Google review
Primosten has changed a lot over the years. It's crowded and expensive now. However, this church is as well as a beautiful view and a lovely graveyard with fun geocaches to find. Worth visiting. Also has regular mass

Beach Mala Raduča is a popular destination in Croatia, often considered one of the best beaches in the country. It offers a sandy stretch with reed umbrellas and lounge chairs, providing stunning views of Primošten village across an inlet. This beach is known for its superb pebble and fine stone shoreline, with a netted swimming area that ensures safety.
Beach is really nice, though you couldn’t stop for 2 minutes in the shade of an unused beach umbrella because they would try to charge you 25 euros.
Gonzalo H — Google review
Small to medium pebbles. Turquoise water. Lots of bars, restaurants and pastry shops around. Pedal boats, jet skis, trampoline and hell of a lot souvenir stands. Very crowded so take that in consideration.
Hrvoje K — Google review
Beautiful, family-friendly beach! The beach is gorgeous and perfect for children, with safe, shallow areas and nearby playgrounds for extra entertainment. There are plenty of food options close by — from bakeries and restaurants to coffee spots — so you can easily spend the whole day here. Parking can be tricky, but there is paid parking available both by the hour and for daily tickets.
Tuğçe K — Google review
A beautiful pebble beach with crystal clear water. The sea gets deep fairly quickly and beach shoes are ideal. The views to Primosten are stunning. We paid 25 euro for 3 sun loungers and a large umbrella. There is a great choice of places to eat and drink nearby. We parked at the paid car park 15 euro for the day, just a few minutes walk, however there is a large free car park about 20 minutes walk away. We visited at the end if June on a Sunday, it was fairly busy but still a very relaxed day.

Sure! Here's a general-purpose, positive Google Maps review you can use and slightly adapt as needed: --- Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was welcoming, everything was clean and well-maintained, and the service was genuinely kind and professional. You can tell there’s attention to detail in how everything is run. Whether you're just passing through or staying longer, it's definitely worth a stop. Highly recommended!

Krka National Park is a stunning nature reserve that spans 73 kilometers along the Krka River, featuring breathtaking waterfalls, walking trails, and riverboat trips. The park's karstic phenomenon showcases a canyon up to 200 meters deep carved through limestone hills by the river over millennia. Visitors can explore the largest and most impressive waterfall, Skradinski Buk, which creates inviting jade pools for swimming.
What a place. Really beautiful. Terrain maybe a little bit challenging for some people. The falls the lake the small fishes birds the wildlife is just amazing! Not to be missed when in Croatia. The wooden walkway at the end was the most amazing part. The view was spectacular.

This is a natural miracle! Everything is well organized-after you buy the ticket, a boat takes you to the park in about 20 minutes. The whole journey is fantastic. Then waterfalls and paths within the park are very natural and amazingly.
Kujtim H — Google review
An amazing series of waterfalls in a beautiful valley. I had not heard of Krka national park before visiting Croatia as it is not as well known as the Plitvice park but it is just as beautiful. We visited on a day trip from Split in late October. It is about 1 hour 20mins from Split. There are many different areas of the park and we visited Lozovac. Here there is a large free car park with free toilets near to the ticket office. The start of the waterfalls walk is in a valley about 1km from the ticket office. There is a regular shuttle bus every 15 mins or you can walk down a gravel path. We chose to walk down. The path is quite steep in places so you might want to use the shuttle bus to return as it is uphill on the way back. There are more toilets and a cafe near to the start of the boardwalk which is about 3.5km long and is suitable for buggies. There are lots of little streams and small falls but the main falls is near the end just after another cafe and some gift stalls. The whole valley is so beautiful, especially in the autumn and we got lucky on a cloudless sunny day.

Best to visit in sunny weather, beautiful waterfalls and lots of benches and restaurants within the park from skradin side. Very bad direction labelling, the trail is not clearly marked so we ended going around a circle instead of forward to the monastery :( Ask for directions along every way!

Fantastic natural parc! We took the boat from Skrandic and walked the whole round hike to the top and back again. Lot of wildlife and panoramic spots! Don't take a stroller with you, there are a lot of stairs and if you skip them, you'll miss many viewpoints.

Beautiful scenery. Easy walking. Well signposted. Only downside was the price of food and drink inside the park, absolutely disgraceful. €7 for a pouch with less fries than a McDonald's and €19.50 for a pathetic burger. I get not wanting people to bring food and drink in due to rubbish and cross contamination of food/nature but sort your prices out.

Mythical place filled with old and unfortunately recent historical events that shaped Croatian history. Very well maintained and packed with lots of educational boards and interactive activities. Best to come before sunset (around 19:00 later in the year). Ticker price was 6,00 € per person. There is small parking underneath the fortress but I would suggest leaving your car on the main street and use walking paths.

Visiting the Knin Fortress was one of my best experiences among Croatian monuments, museums, and cultural landmarks. The interactive museum is top-notch, the free viewing telescope is a fantastic addition, and the museums dedicated to Operation Storm and other themes are beautifully and thoughtfully arranged. Truly outstanding — one of the best sites in Croatia!

It's a really interesting place. Most of the exhibitions have plaques that are in English which are really useful. The girl with dark hair who was working the ticket booth was really friendly and helped us out a lot. The views are absolutely stunning.

Great coffee shop and restaurant there as well.

It's a 'must visit ', it seems to cover the entire top of the hill with impenetrable walls full of archery slots and canon stations. You get the feeling that the people could survive any siege. I wish we'd brought a picnic but my partner and I had dinner in the castle restaurant: it was the best meal we had in a week of eating out every day.

Amazing Beach. Only horrible thing is the parking. There are weird people running around selling overpriced parking tickets, for the parking at the beach. But if you park near the Konzum supermarket 10 minutes by foot away in the town, you only pay 1€ per hour. You have to pay with the BMove app though. But the installation of the app and purchasing of the ticket was super easy. Really recommend that option!

Nice beach. Not overcrowded (at least was not 3-13 July 19). Water not the nicest, since it's more or less a small bay. Depends where exactly you stay on the beach. Decent service in terms of food, drinks, sport activities. Below average prices in Croatia in general. No "adrenaline" activities really available.

A great restaurant right in the marina in Biograd. Very spacious, with a terrace and a view of yachts and sailboats. The restaurant is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated.

The staff is very kind and helpful in choosing food. The menu includes fish, crustacean and meat dishes. There is a children's menu. There are also desserts for those with a sweet tooth.

The restaurant is located in a beautiful marina. The surroundings are really neat and clean while the restaurant is decorated beautifully. The food was exquisite! I would recommend you to try the "Octopus salad" dish which was delicious and one of my favorites! The service was great and I will be returning here again!

Location is inside the marina. Very nice veranda if you want to sit outside. Also area inside with air conditioning. Fresh and well done food. If you want to try traditional Croatian food like "Peka" order one day before, just call or ask your hotel to call for you. Service minded and friendly staff. Kids are welcome. Some vegetarian alternatives as well as gluten free alternatives. Price is fair to portion. Amazing sunset. Really worth a visit.

Awful planning of waiters shifts. On Saturday there is always rush but it’s unforgivable and no excuse to wait to order cup of coffee for 40+ min. When asked waiter directly the answer was “wait for someone to come to you”

Nice restaurant with very slow service, you can be half hour with empty glasses in almost empty restaurant and nobody will recognize it, until you will start to wave like windmill... For lunch we went rather outside of marine.

Land Gate

Mentioned on 
+42 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Land Gate in Zadar is a significant historical landmark that serves as the main entrance to the old town area, enclosed by medieval walls. Constructed in the 16th century by the Venetians, it features a grand triumphal arch adorned with intricate stone carvings depicting images of Zadar's patron saint and the winged lion of St. Mark.
The Land Gate (Kopnena Vrata) is one of Zadar’s most iconic historical landmarks, located in the city’s Old Town. Built in 1543 by the Venetian architect Michele Sanmicheli, it served as the main entrance to the fortified city during the Venetian Republic. It is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture and holds immense historical and cultural significance. Key Features: 1. Design: • The gate is adorned with elaborate carvings, including a central triumphal arch flanked by two smaller arches. • At the top, it features the Lion of Saint Mark, a symbol of Venice, signifying Zadar’s importance as part of the Venetian Republic during that time. • It also includes decorative elements such as coats of arms and inscriptions. 2. Function: • The Land Gate was strategically positioned as part of the city’s defensive walls, which protected Zadar from Ottoman attacks. • It connected the city to the mainland via a drawbridge over the Fosa, a narrow moat that still exists today. 3. Cultural Significance: • Today, the Land Gate is a preserved part of Zadar’s UNESCO-listed Venetian fortifications. • It stands as a symbol of Zadar’s rich history and its strategic importance in the Adriatic during the Renaissance period. Modern Use: The Land Gate is now a pedestrian passage and a favorite spot for visitors exploring the Old Town. Its location near the Fosa Harbor makes it a picturesque entrance to Zadar’s historic center.

Beautiful historic monument, as is the Queen Jelena Madijevka Park, a Historic park atop the city bastions. There were 2 guided tours at the sane time, one in Mandarin Chinese, one in English at 5he time I visited. I would definitely recommend to go see the Land Gate at Fuša Harbor.

The 1543 entrance gate in Zadar impresses with its history and architecture. The Venetian walls are adorned with reliefs of a lion and St. Chrysogonus. Definitely worth seeing! Nearby, there's a shady park and a picturesque bay offering cruises for diving or sunset views. The gate was a crucial part of the city's defense during the Venetian Republic era and symbolizes its rich cultural heritage. Highly recommended!
Fiodor K — Google review
Most impressive of the gates is the Land Gate, main entrance into Zadar. It is built by Michele Sanmicheli in 1543 and it has a form of a triumphal arch with a central passage and two smaller two arches for wheeled traffic and pedestrians.
Mat B — Google review
This is one of the beautiful old gates in the wall of the city. We understand that when the city was an island much of the area beyond this massive gate was a huge water filled mote. Eventually the mote was filled in forming a peninsula. Today the arch remains where the gates were and is a lovely historical landmark.
Louis E — Google review
From all city gates this might be the most remarkable and the most beautiful. Not only due to its Venetian Lion. Just maybe because of its sheere size. It is the entry and exit point to the South. And considering the historic centre is almost detached to three sides by waters, the Southern gate is the most important. Don’t miss!
Philipp S — Google review
This is a review of Zadar in general, not specifically the gate. It is not a great city to visit. Many of the building are modern concrete construction and it probably has the highest proportion of tourist trap restaurants. Lots of loud tourists and not a peaceful atmosphere. If you want to visit, don't bother staying more than one night.

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Saint Donatus’ Church is a large Catholic church with a circular shape that was constructed in the 9th century. It is located near the Roman Forum and St. Anastasia's Cathedral in Zadar, Croatia. The church has a pre-Romanesque style and is considered one of the most important landmarks in Dalmatia from that time period. Named after Bishop Donat, it features clean lines, a circular ground plan, and fortress-like architecture.
Visiting the Church of St. Donatus and climbing the adjacent Bell Tower is well worth the effort - the entrance is 5€. The church’s unusual circular arhitecture with it's mixture of Romanesque and Byzantine influences dates back to the 9th century and it's definitely a bit of a gem. Climbing the Bell Tower is rewarded with an excellent panorama of Zadar’s old town, the shimmering Adriatic Sea, and nearby islands.
Mat B — Google review
An impressive ancient church located next to the Forum and the Cathedral. We were visiting early and had the place to ourselves. It was probably built in the 9th century and its design reflects architectural traditions of that time. It has a very authentic and somewhat eery vibe. I wish there were more explanations or some sort of a tour, but anyway, it was an interesting stop in Zadar. The entrance was 4 ears (cash only).
Ed G — Google review
Ancient church, surrounded by roman heritage of an old town square and amphitheater. The church is small but still neat to see and sit and imagine how assemblies were held inside. Beautiful steps, and clean. 5€ per son's over 10yrs old to enter. About a 30 min adventure at most. But you can't put a price on history

Very historical buildings with a long glory history. Iis no longer an operational church but just being conserved for it's history and as a tourist attraction. Can see it's structure was constructed many years ago using old masonry techniques. It's still very solid and strong. Worth a visit to get an understanding or Zadar and also St Donatus' Church significance in this city & town.

A beautiful ancient church located in the heart of Zadar's old town and near the sea front. Taking a walk around old town reveals its historic charm, with each alleyway having its own story to tell! A walk around the oldtown and the sea front is definitely a must in Zadar!
Vikas S — Google review
I happen to be in Zadar when it just finished raining… do not make the same mistake. The crowds of people that filled the streets was insane. Many shopkeepers recommended to come when it rains as there are less people. But oh my days. However, the church is still very beautiful its just impossible to fully enjoy under such pretences
Mia S — Google review
A magical place in the heart of Zadar, especially at night when the Romanesque bell tower and the Church of St. Donatus are beautifully illuminated. The square is full of life, with street performers, tourists, and cozy cafés around. The contrast between the ancient stone structures and the lively modern atmosphere creates a unique and memorable vibe. A must-visit spot for history lovers and anyone looking to feel the soul of the old town. Absolutely stunning!

Sea Organ

Mentioned on 
+138 other lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Nestled along the stunning coastline of Zadar, the Sea Organ is a remarkable fusion of art and nature that captivates visitors with its enchanting melodies. This large experimental musical instrument is ingeniously designed beneath a staircase leading to the sea, where waves interact with a hidden system of pipes and whistles. As the tides ebb and flow, they create hauntingly beautiful sounds that are both unpredictable and mesmerizing.
It’s one of the most unique and peaceful places I’ve ever visited. The sound of the waves creating soft, natural music is so relaxing — perfect for just sitting back and enjoying the moment. The sunset here is breathtaking — the sky turns into a mix of orange, pink, and purple while you listen to the ocean "play" its song. The atmosphere is calm, romantic, and ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. A beautiful blend of nature, art, and sound. Don’t miss it if you’re in Zadar!
Niroshan P — Google review
This was one of the most unique and mesmerizing public art installations I’ve ever experienced. It looks like a giant glass disc set into the promenade, but as the sun sets, the entire thing comes alive with vibrant, shifting lights powered by solar energy collected during the day. The best part? You’re watching this incredible light show right next to the Adriatic, with live waves crashing and the Sea Organ playing in the background. Magical. The atmosphere in the evening is peaceful yet energetic—locals and travelers just soaking in the vibe. A must-visit if you’re in Zadar, especially at sunset.
Madhushree M — Google review
A very interesting spot on the embankment. The entire embankment is a pleasant place for a stroll, but the sea organ is a must-see, a chance to sit on the steps and listen to the sea sing. The best time to visit is when the waves are moderate. If the waves are calm, the sound is almost inaudible. If the waves are very rough, the sea floods the steps.
Miha S — Google review
It’s a great area to listen to some good music performed at the steps by the sea. The music comes from the waves and ripples underneath the granite steps. It was so relaxing, and it was a great place to sit and watch the activity on the water. It’s a great area for a stroll and gather some history. This is the area for Alfred Hitchcock love to watch the sunset, he said the best in the world. I WOULD RECOMMEND
Cindy L — Google review
It's a particularly special feeling when the sun sets and the people gathered there spontaneously begin to clap, as if they've just witnessed a performance. And when I think about it more closely, it really is the best show I've ever seen! So...the Sea Organ (Morske orgulje) is a unique architectural sound art object and experimental musical instrument located on the coast of Zadar, Croatia. Designed by architect Nikola Bašić, this ingenious creation uses the power of the sea to create a symphony of sound. Hidden beneath a series of large, white marble steps are 35 organ pipes of different lengths, shapes, and sizes. As waves and tides wash into the coastline, they push air through these pipes, producing melancholic and beautifully random musical tones. Because the sea is ever-changing, the organ never plays the same melody twice, making each listening experience a one-of-a-kind moment. Waiting for the sunset while listening to the Sea Organ is truly a spectacular and unforgettable experience. This is confirmed by the large number of people who gather to enjoy the hypnotic sound and the breathtaking spectacle of the sun dipping below the horizon. It's a place where nature, art, and human emotion come together in perfect harmony.

The Greeting to the Sun

Mentioned on 
+81 other lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Greeting to the Sun is a modern artistic installation located in Zadar, consisting of 300 multi-layered glass plates arranged in a circle on the waterfront. Beneath these glass plates are solar modules that create a symbolic connection with nature through light. At sunset, the lighting elements within the circle illuminate and produce a mesmerizing light show synchronized with the waves and sounds of the nearby Sea Organs.
This piece surprised me not just visually but conceptually. It’s more than just lights—it’s a clever tribute to nature, astronomy, and renewable energy. The solar panels absorb sunlight all day and then use that stored energy to create a multi-colored light show after dark. It’s especially meaningful if you're into science, sustainability, or just interactive public art. Families, couples, solo travelers—everyone seemed to be drawn in. I loved the blend of technology, nature, and creativity. Great spot to relax, reflect, or just be present.
Madhushree M — Google review
Very interesting bit of technology with solar power allowing a light show on hundreds of panels. Given that it's right next to the equally fascinating sea organ you're bound to visit it when in Zadar. Great area for the sunset. Some reviewers complain about the number of people - but for my group, all the happy, smiling admirers was a plus not a minus. Definitely worth a visit.
Mat B — Google review
Greeting to the Sun in Zadar offers an absolutely mesmerizing experience that perfectly encapsulates the beauty of the Adriatic. As the day draws to a close, the sunset here is nothing short of spectacular, painting the sky with vibrant hues that reflect off the calm waters. You'll find yourself captivated by the silhouette of boats gently bobbing on the sea, adding to the picturesque scene. The magic truly comes alive as dusk settles in, and the Sea Organ begins its melodic performance, creating an ethereal soundtrack that perfectly complements the visual spectacle. And then there are the lights of the Greeting to the Sun itself – their simplicity is their genius, creating an interactive and enchanting display of the ground that is both playful and profound. It's a place where natural beauty, human ingenuity, and a sense of wonder seamlessly blend together. A must-visit for anyone in Zadar!
Matt W — Google review
Visiting the Greeting to the Sun was one of the highlights of my trip to Zadar. This stunning installation, located right by the sea next to the famous Sea Organ, is an incredible blend of art, science, and nature. During the day, the large circular platform quietly absorbs sunlight, but as soon as the sun sets, it lights up with vibrant, colorful patterns powered by solar energy. It feels like the ground itself is alive with energy! What I loved most was how the installation connects you to the cosmos — with a solar calendar engraved on the ring and smaller discs representing the planets nearby. It’s not just beautiful but also educational. The nearby Sea Organ adds a magical soundtrack as the waves create peaceful, melodic sounds, making the whole experience truly multi-sensory. The location is perfect for an evening stroll along the waterfront, watching the sunset while enjoying this unique light show. Best of all, it’s completely free and open at all times. I highly recommend visiting just before dusk to catch the full effect. A perfect spot for photos, relaxation, and soaking in Zadar’s creative spirit!
Niroshan P — Google review
On the western extremity of Zadar’s old town, this modern installation is a remarkable addition to Zadar alongside its neighbour the Sea Organ. Both are designed by Nikola Bašić. It consists of 300 multi-layered glass solar panels in the shape of a circle of a 22-meter diameter. It collects the energy of the Sun and transforms it into the electricity, which is then used by and around the installation throughout the night. Wait for dusk to be over to fully appreciate the marvel.
Anil J — Google review
Monument dedicated to sun. It is work of Nikola Bašić, architect who made sea organ next to this monument. These two monuments symbolize comunication with nature. This one comunicates with light and organ comunicate with sound. In the evening the lights turn on and you can enjoy in lightshow.

Paklenica National Park

National park

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Paklenica National Park is a stunning 95 sq km protected mountain forest located in the Velebit Range, which separates continental Croatia from the Adriatic coast. The park boasts two peaks higher than 1,700m and features two deep gorges, Velika Paklenica and Mala Paklenica, with cliffs over 400m high. Its unique geographical position results in diverse vegetation and climate zones ranging from warm Mediterranean to cold mountain climate.
One of these places where you don't need to walk much to see something amazing;) Just outside the parking lot, you can observe climbers or simply rest in the shade of the mountains and trees. Definitely go on a trek too or take a climbing lesson with a local guide!
Joanna ( — Google review
If you're going to go up the mountain, take sturdy shoes. We went up Vidakov Kuk. 745m high. About 6.4km to get there. The trail is fine up to the point of the Manitec cave. After that, you follow the red and white circles and lines to the top. It's not easy, there are no safety barriers, and sometimes it's pretty much straight up, holding onto rocks, steel wire and trees. Take your time and look for the next red and marker to set your course. When you get to the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent view. To get down there are 2 ways, back the way you came, or keep going, following the red and white markers. I would recommend going back the way you came. Even though the first part of that will be difficult, one you hit the trail it's easy sailing. Continuing on is a task and a half. The trail is VERY difficult. Steep slopes, on rocks most of the way, and you only have the markers as a guide as there is no real trail marked. It's tough on knees and ankles. Sometimes it feels like it will never end, you double back on yourself and feel lost. Plus it takes a lot longer this way. And when you get to the end, you will probably question your intelligence as why you did it 😄. But, if adventure is what you are wanting, do it.

So the park and scenery is great. But the trails although clearly marked they are extremely confusing for people who want to hike more difficult trails. The map provided doesn’t align with the signs on the trails. So you don’t really know what you will see when you reach the trail end. They could mark up loop trails and colour code them by time and difficulty level. But if you have a one day there and want to do quick hike it will be nearly impossible to understand which trail to choose to see something as everything provided by the park is unusable. Restaurants in the park is cash only so don’t forget the money if you want to eat something.

Juraj B — Google review
The park is absolutely stunning and worth visiting, but hikers (especially visitors unfamiliar with the terrain) should be careful — it’s very easy to lose the trail, even just a few meters off. The rocky karst slopes can make every direction look the same, and some paths aren’t clearly marked. A small wrong turn can quickly lead into thick, thorny bushes and rough ground. I recommend adding more visible trail markings and some English-language signs or disclaimers, especially near confusing sections, so visitors can stay safe and enjoy the hike with confidence. Huge thanks to the park staff — they were incredibly kind, calm, and helpful when I got disoriented and needed assistance. Their professionalism and kindness really stood out.

Being a great study of Nikola Tesla and his understanding of the forces of nature meant I couldn't miss visiting this place! This memorial is a great tribute to a remarkable man.

Step into the serene village where one of history's greatest minds began his journey - Nikola Tesla, the visionary behind modern electricity. This enchanting destination is more than just a museum; it's an experience that radiates peace, profound symbolism, and boundless inspiration. Arrive on the hour and witness the electrifying Tesla coil demonstration, followed by a compelling short documentary that brings Tesla's brilliance to life. The museum complex offers: - A playground where young minds can dream big - A souvenir shop packed with keepsakes charged with inspiration - A historic Orthodox church where Tesla’s father once preached, adding spiritual depth to your visit Whether you're a science enthusiast, a curious traveler, or a seeker of inspiration, allow yourself a longer stay to truly absorb the energy that permeates this remarkable place. It’s not just a trip - it’s a spark that can ignite your own creativity.

Plitvice Lakes National Park

Mentioned on 
+125 other lists 
National park
Nature & Parks
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a stunning destination in the heart of Croatia, known for its picturesque lakes, alpine forests, waterfalls, and caves. It's an ideal place for romantic getaways or family adventures. Couples can enjoy enchanting lookouts, romantic walks along the trails with the soothing sounds of waterfalls, and a stay at Jezero Hotel followed by a romantic dinner at Licka Kuca restaurant.
Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of pure, awe-inspiring beauty. The 16 lakes, connected by countless waterfalls and cascades in stunning turquoise-blue hues, are a true paradise. Walking on the wooden boardwalks allows you to get close to the water, feel the mist of the falls and see almost to the bottom of the lakes. It's an absolute must-do for any nature lover. Important points on the trails and walking conditions: The park offers a variety of routes (like C, H, F, E etc.) that combine walking, a boat ride on Lake Kozjak, and use of a shuttle. Most of the walking paths and boardwalks are very narrow, slippery, and sometimes uneven, and the park gets extremely crowded, therefore in my opinion the trails are not suitable for baby strollers or wheelchairs, also - access is difficult for people with walking difficulties or seniors who require stability. Recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip. Tickets: Recommended to book tickets online in advance for a specific time slot and entrance (1 or 2), as the daily visitor capacity is limited and tickets sell out quickly. It's best to arrive as early as possible (right at opening time) to avoid the biggest crowds. Paid parking is available at both entrances (make sure to park at the entrance for which you bought your ticket). Along the paths, there are several rest points with WCs and some places to buy food, but it's a bit pricey, so you can bring some water, sandwiches, or snacks. In summary, this is an amazing natural wonder that is worth every effort.

It's no wonder the Plitvice Lakes are called Croatia's main attraction. It's a vast and incredibly beautiful national park. We visited in the summer, so everything was blooming and green. The park's highlight is the many waterfalls it has. Here, the waterfalls resemble delicate lace, an exquisite interplay of streams and intertwining water flows - there waterfalls upon waterfalls. If you're in Croatia, don't miss the opportunity to admire this spectacle! Some of the hiking trails will easily last a few hours, so prepare to spend a full day here.

Great planning in the national park, with bus and boat inclusive with the ticket which is unbelievable at this kind of world-famous tourist spot. Experienced route H, spent around 5 hours and quite easy to walk, thanks for the bus taking us uphill and start at the top with over 80% of the journey are downhill. Fall season should be promoted more, the view is amazing, weather is comfortable but obviously there are not many visitors during Oct.

B&B Lower Lakes is a part of the stunning Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is known for its breathtaking natural beauty and numerous lakes. The park is vast, covering much more than just the 16 lakes it's famous for. Visitors can choose between flexible programs to explore the Upper and Lower Lakes, with two main entrances providing access to different sections of the park.
Remember the place, great service, and good rooms. Placed two minutes from the entering of Plitvice park, do not need a car to enter. Great breakfast. We loved it and recommended everyone to come and enjoy it. Thank you, Milica and Nicolas, the stay here was amazing because of your great service.

This beautiful hotel was very comfortable and easy to find. Check in was a breeze and the room was amazing. We had a wonderful balcony to sit on. The property also has a lot of outside sitting and a few swings. There is free parking on the property and they allowed us to leave our car there while we hiked in the park. The 3rd entrance to the park is a 5 Min walk away and very convenient. We were able to go the opposite way of most people visiting and had zero wait for the boat at the end of the day since everyone is heading the other way.

Location, location! This is an amazing place to stay with so many perks. The entrance to Plitvice Park is just a short walk away, and there are a couple of really nice restaurants within walking distance. Our host, Mirjana, was wonderful. Even though we arrived late, she was there to greet us and help us get settled. She asked what time we’d like breakfast, and had everything prepared and ready earlier than scheduled. The breakfast spread was incredible—so many options, including cheeses, fresh fruit, yogurt, jams, breads, and coffee. On top of that, she made us delicious eggs every morning. The room was spotless, and we had a beautiful balcony overlooking the backyard. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the fresh air, complete with Adirondack chairs, a swing, and tables. Parking was free and right at B&B. We couldn’t have asked for more. We would absolutely stay here again, and I can’t wait to recommend it to my friends and family.

Everything was absolutely excellent. The room was super big and had everything you need. Cleaning 10+++. A lot of attention to details, you could tell the accommodation was carefully and tastefully designed. The host was incredibly nice and she makes the best pancakes and scrambled eggs. So you can probably tell we also loved the breakfast. :) For the Park, you can buy online any Entrance ticket and the hour doesn't matter that much. There is an unofficial entrance very close by, where the Park staff will scan your tickets. We visited in September, but I recommend you to eat your morning breakfast, then grab some snacks for the rest of the day. There are very limited options on the resting areas on the routes. For dinner, we highly recommend to avoid the restaurants nearby the accommodation, take the car and drive for 15 minutes to Restaurant Degenija - better prices and much better quality food. I really hope all accommodations were like this. 💚

A friendly and relaxing accommodation amidst the park with clean and pleasant rooms, free WiFi, free parking, breakfast, freshly cooked dinner and more. Just three minutes walking from the park entrance. Everything is lovingly attended to by host Milica who makes you feel welcome from the very first moment and is a great help for planning your visit to the park as well. For my next visit, I will definitely come back here!

Modern, new and clean rooms. Amazing outdoor area. Very helpful and friendly staff who can help you with buying tickets and give you tips on what to see or where to eat in the area. If you are looking for a quiet place in Plitvice, this is the best place. The accommodation is approx. 400-500 meters from the unofficial entrance to the Plitvice Lakes National Park. However, you can only use this entrance with a valid ticket, which you must purchase in advance (24 hours) on the Plitvice Lakes website. We spent in this place 3 wonderful nights and had enough time to explore Plitvice lakes and taste local food

Milica Rapaic was a perfect host for such a cute and picturesque B&B in the great mountains of the Plitvica!! With the help of Milica, she help planned my proposal here :) She gave secret tips of the best view points that only the locals know! She and the team exceeded expectations and made us feel very warm and welcomed. We could not highly recommend the B&B (my fiancée mentioned it was the best shower she ever used!) and a special thank you from us in making our stay, a perfect night to remember for the rest of our lives!

Great Waterfall

Mentioned on 
17 lists 
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Great Waterfall, also known as Veliki Slap, is a stunning natural wonder located within a national park in Croatia. Standing at an impressive 78 meters tall, it is the highest waterfall in the country and offers breathtaking views. The surrounding area features picturesque picnicking spots and a viewing platform to take in the beauty of the cascading water. Visitors can also explore the Sastavci waterfalls, which create a dramatic scene as they appear to be an extension of Great Waterfall.
This is the tallest waterfall in Plitvice Lakes National Park, measuring approximately 78 meters in height. It is a single-drop waterfall, cascading straight down from a high cliff in a dramatic and powerful flow. The sight of the water plunging in a single stream is truly awe-inspiring. In spring and after rainfall, the volume of water increases, creating an even more impressive spectacle. During winter, the frozen form offers a completely different yet equally stunning view. Visiting early in the morning rewards you with a magical atmosphere, as mist and sunlight create a dreamlike setting. It is the closest major attraction to Ticket Office 1, and certain trail routes allow you to reach a viewpoint right at the base of the waterfall.

The "Great Waterfall" in Croatia is called Veliki Slap and is the largest waterfall in Plitvice Lakes National Park. It has a height of 78 meters and is fed by the Plitvica River. What a magnificent view!

The big waterfall looks perfect. If you are lucky, your impression will be completed by the small drops carried by the gentle wind from the waterfall that fall on the tourists. The impression would be better if there weren't so many tourists in this place, but I can understand why people stay here.
King S — Google review
Dreamy, full-on nature immersive! Only downside: wooden path is very narrow plus at water level, so u can't enjoy the waterfall in absolute peace - making space for people passing all the time & the anxiety of your belongings (phone etc) falling in the lakes.
Romy X — Google review
Absolutely gorgeous and an amazing experience to be here. This is the highest waterfall in the Plitvice National Park – 78 meters high situated at the very end of the Lower Lakes. It is fed by the waters of the Plitvica Potok River. Considered as the most beautiful one on the Lakes, this waterfall is also the highest one in the whole of Croatia. A must visit site, when in Croatia.

Bear Sanctuary, Kuterevo

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Nestled in the northern Velebit mountains, Bear Sanctuary, Kuterevo is a haven for orphaned bears undergoing rehabilitation. The sanctuary, sustained by donations for over 20 years, offers a hippy commune vibe and ample free parking. Visitors can observe nine well-cared-for bears in spacious enclosures while enjoying the picturesque surroundings of the small village. Run entirely by volunteers, the sanctuary provides educational information and offers locally made products like jam, honey, cheese, and vegetables.
You don't have to be a bear fanatic like my partner to appreciate the fantastic work the lovely volunteers do to improve the lives of these majestic beasts. Anyone travelling down from northern Croatia to the Split area should pay a cost to support the work this charity does.

Adored our time at the Kuterevo Bear Sanctuary. The sanctuary is free to visit but please bring cash to donate!!! As a bear lover, it was amazing to see the beautiful bears in enclosures full of trees, bushes, and ponds to emulate their natural habitat. With a bit of patience and by exploring the various enclosures, we saw 4 bears. The drive to the sanctuary is long and winding but seeing the Croatian countryside was nice.

We went mid-day so most bears were somewear in the shade as it was super hot that day, but we still got to see a couple. Its a free to visit sactuary, but you can buy things in the giftshop or donate via PayPal - we bought small wooden bear statues. Would recommend to visit if you are in the region. They also have some birds to see.
Gabija A — Google review
Well worth a visit. I am always wary of "animal sanctuaries" but this is genuine and is 100% about the animals. We arrived in the heat of the day so initially didn't see much but returned after some food at the wonderful local hotel / restaurant Butina up the road when it had cooled a little. We then had the privilege of seeing the three younger bears emerge from their shady areas. It has a great vibe and friendly, welcoming volunteers. No entry fee but of course donations encouraged.
Caroline P — Google review
Fantastic experience for the whole family. We drove here from Plitvice. We stayed for about 1.5 hours (as we were also waiting for the feeding) TIPS for a more enjoyable experience. - go during feeding time. Evening one is at 5pm. We only saw one of the bears outside of the feeding. - it is free, but do buy yourself a souvenir to support them. Bring cash - the place is not wheelchair or stroller friendly, so plan accordingly
Clement Y — Google review
A little off the beaten path, but well worth the effort to visit. We saw 6 different bears in the habitat. It,was almost like seeing them in their home forest. They looked very healthy and well taken care of. We watched as two of the teenage bears wrestled, it was fun to watch them have fun. Our visit was the highlight of our day.

G D — Google review
Beautiful sandy beach in the island of Rab, infront is a small island that you can cross with a bike boat. There you can do some snorkeling with your sport camera 📸 The difference between Jesolo Italy and Lopar, the people in Lopar is not so friendly. The restaurant waitresses are friendly, but the little stores who selling swimming products; they never smile, they never want to ingage ( connect ) with the customers. Unfortune I think, they supposed to attract more tourists, but their behaviour I feel it "not polite". Do I want to go back to Lopar? Yes, I think besides that the stores owner or supermarket not friendly; Lopar is very beautiful ❤️ the food is good 👍 PS : The chairs and umbrella 🏖️ cost €19,50. You come to the beach, choose which one that you like to sit. Later on come a guy with little machine, you pay him, you'll get a receipt 🧾

Beautifull public beach, it's a pity that there are no rules on the beach so you pay for sunbeds and you see the tents people are putting in front of you so you don't have any sea view. The tents should be allowed in the back of the sunbeds not in front, it is disrespectful for the ones who pay them. In this way it looks like a Gypsy style beach.

While accessing the valley from Ljubljana may pose some challenges due to navigation issues, the breathtaking scenery and peaceful trails make it a magical destination worth visiting.

An absolutely fairytale-like spot, with scenery that feels almost Swiss — at times even Norwegian. The valley is breathtaking, with sharp color contrasts and sweeping mountain views. There’s plenty of space to walk around or ride a bike, and the road leads straight to the waterfall trail, which is an easy 15-minute walk. Definitely a place where you’ll want to linger, because the views are just unreal.

10€ per car for entry. The various parking spaces within the valley are then included. Worth it if you take the time to enjoy the valley. Take the time to walk the various trails, have some local food and see Rinka Waterfall at the end, or perhaps climb further to the mountains from there. Saw some cute highland cows too.

Perched on a rocky outcrop in the heart of a picturesque plain, Hochosterwitz Castle is a medieval marvel with a history dating back over 1,000 years. This imposing fortress boasts 14 defensive gates and offers panoramic views of Slovenia and East Austria from its elevated position. The castle's walls and crenellations wind their way up the mount, leading to the formidable fortress at its summit.
It’s an absolute gem! Perched dramatically on a hilltop, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The climb up through its 14 fortified gates is a unique experience, and the well-preserved architecture makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Inside, the small museum and charming courtyards add to the castle’s historic charm. It’s a must-visit for anyone who loves history, stunning landscapes, and fairytale-like castles!

A powerful castle from the outside, the view is wonderful from the top. But the fee is very high for basically nothing, one room and a restaurant, even the most basic shops, we were surprised and not in a good way, we have already been to castles with a lot of investment that had something to see...

Hochosterwitz Castle stands as a magnificent testament to medieval architecture, perched atop a 150-meter-high dolomite rock in Launsdorf, Austria. Its commanding location not only offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Carinthian landscape but also highlights its historical significance as a strategic fortress designed to withstand sieges and invasions over centuries. Visitors often describe the journey to the castle as an integral part of the experience, with the walk up offering spectacular scenery and a sense of anticipation, although the castle can also be accessed via a funicular for those who prefer an easier ascent. The castle's defining feature is its series of 14 fortified gates, each representing a different aspect of medieval defensive architecture. These gates, which served as formidable obstacles for invaders, are a major highlight, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the castle’s rich military history. Walking through these gates not only provides insight into medieval siege tactics but also amplifies the sense of stepping back into a time of knights and battlements. The structure’s well-preserved architecture, including towers, battlements, and defensive walls, underscores its importance as a resilient stronghold during the Ottoman invasions and other historical conflicts. Inside, the castle boasts a collection of medieval weaponry and armor, as well as a museum that showcases its layered history. The interior spaces, including a castle chapel, armory, and various courtyards, reflect a blend of functional military design and past aristocratic lifestyles. The armory, in particular, is a fascinating display of medieval warfare, while the castle’s panoramic vantage points provide stunning views of the lush Carinthian landscape, emphasizing its military and scenic importance. Visitors often remark on the unique experience offered by exploring these historic interiors, which are complemented by occasional displays of contemporary art integrated into the historic setting. The history of Hochosterwitz dates back to its first mention in 860 AD. The castle was fortified extensively in the 16th century, notably under the patronage of the Khevenhüller family, transforming it into one of the most formidable military bastions of its time. Today, it stands as a symbol of resilience and a vital part of Carinthian cultural heritage, attracting thousands of visitors annually who come to admire its historical architecture, sweeping views, and intriguing stories. The experience of visiting Hochosterwitz is enhanced by its accessibility and the variety of activities on offer ranging from exploring the castle grounds and towers to engaging with its cultural exhibitions. The site’s scenic location, historical depth, and well-preserved structures make it one of Austria’s most impressive medieval castles, celebrated for its architectural grandeur and panoramic vistas that extend over the rugged landscape of Carinthia. Whether as a day trip from nearby towns or as a historical pilgrimage, Hochosterwitz remains an iconic and awe-inspiring monument to Austria’s medieval past and enduring strength.

The castle is set in a beautiful natural surrounding and is impressive through the number of gates you have to go through to enter it (or conquer it in the Middle Ages). The tickets are quite expensive (we paid 77 euro for a family of 3 with one-way lift access included). If you purchase 2-way lift access, they are going to be more expensive. You can also climb and descend on foot, in which case the tickets will be a little cheaper. There were 2 exhibitions in the main castle: a permanent one, which looked a bit dusty and old-school, telling the history of the castle and the family owning it. The temporary exhibition was dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci, and costed extra. There are also a restaurant serving local specialties, toilets and a gift shop. Most defense towers and gates are either permanently closed or under renovation, so they cannot be visited. You can have some amazing views of the surrounding areas from the top level.

Entry is a bit pricier, but the castle is totally worth it. The walk to the top is easy, no need to take the lift (except for visitors with health impairment). Adequate parking right by the gate. Restaurant at the top was a pleasant surprise, decent food and prices not through the roof. The place was not super crowded and you can comfortably buy tickets at the spot.

Minimundus, established in 1958, is a must-visit tourist destination featuring over 150 intricately crafted models of world landmarks set in a lush park. The attention to detail in the designs, made from various materials like marble and sandstone, accurately simulates famous structures such as the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, and Statue of Liberty.
We visited this place around 10AM on a Sunday and there were still enough available spaces for parking. They have a lot of miniature attractions around the world but there isn't a single one from their neighboring country, Slovakia, such a pity. Anyway, the facilities are good. There are toilets, restaurants, and benches where you can get some rest. The ticket is not cheap but worth it. A family could stay the whole day because there is no time limit and there are a lot of things to see.

I must say I was quite impressed by this place. It's not very big, but it's really beautiful. The tickets are affordable and, if you're in Klagenfurt, I think it's worth seeing. There's also a coffee shop inside if you want to have a drink or something to eat. I highly recommend it!

We had a really nice trip. We went around the world in three hours and had a fantastic time. We all enjoyed it, my husband and I, but also our children. The weather was warm and sunny so we were really lucky to walk around the park, enjoy and take pictures. This is my big recommendation for all parents because it is guaranteed to be a good, beautiful and useful time. The park is excellently and creatively done, there is an inner and outer part of Minimundus as well as a big wheel. There is also a gift shop with souvenirs and a restaurant where we had lunch.

Nice experience. Big free parking in front. Adult ticket was 21€. The park is not too big, not too small. You need 2 to 3 hours to see everything. The mini replicas are very detailed. The plants, flowers and grass are all curated in a way to fit into context of the minimundus. Many of the replicas are animated... mini trains travel around, crains loading containers on cargo ship, wind mills, water mills, space shuttle... everything moves. Really nice. There is also a bar and restaurant inside if you get thirsty or hungry and a panoramic wheel if you are not affraid of hights. Recommended.

Minimundus: A World Tour in Two Hours! If you're ever in Klagenfurt, Austria, you absolutely must visit Minimundus. It was definitely worth the day spent there, especially with kids! It's an incredibly educational and engaging place where you can literally travel the world in about two hours, viewing hundreds of perfect miniature models of famous buildings and landmarks. The models are so nicely maintained, and the entire park is designed to be easily accessible and fun for all ages. I highly recommend carving out some time for this unique experience—it’s the perfect way to spark curiosity and learn about global architecture and geography!

Beautiful place for families and as adults we enjoyed it very much, too. Only missing part is Something from Slovakia. For example Blue Church would be beautiful miniature.

What a novelty! Really fascinating especially because they use original materials as much as possible. The detail is incredible and I appreciate the informative signage and moving parts - for example an elevator in the Eiffel Tower and a space shuttle “launch”. Walked around for about an hour with a friend and enjoyed the sunshine. Almost no one else there on a weekday.

Pyramidenkogel Tower

Observation deck
Sights & Landmarks
Observation Decks & Towers
The Pyramidenkogel Tower is a popular attraction in Klagenfurt that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and Lake Worthersee. It features an observation deck, as well as a covered slide that provides visitors with a thrilling experience. The road leading up to the tower can be challenging for inexperienced drivers due to its steep and twisting nature. The parking lot is free and spacious, while the building's entrance is well-maintained.
Really interesting free standing structure in the middle of the forest overlooking the lake with great views. Made entirely of wood from the region, it takes on this grey color which makes it pretty interesting. There is a slide that you can take from the top to the bottom. You can get to the top via elevator or by stairs. I do recommend taking the elevator as you can spend more time at the top to soak in the views and then slowly walk down. This is definitely not for those who are afraid of heights as it is completely open (but still safe - sufficient barriers).

Great panoramic view over Lake Wörthersee and the surroundings – definitely worth visiting once. Parking is easy, the tower is modern and clean. Perfect for photos and a short trip, but honestly, it’s a “see it once” kind of place – no real reason to come back again.

The Pyramidenkogel Tower near Klagenfurt is absolutely worth a visit. We were lucky to have a beautiful clear day, even though it’s already October, and the views were simply breathtaking. From the top, you can see for miles in every direction, the two surrounding lakes glistening below are magical, and the little peninsula of Maria Wörth looks picture-perfect from above. To the west, the Alps rise majestically in the distance, completing the stunning panorama. A truly beautiful spot and an experience not to be missed! Make sure you come back down using the slide! A definite crowd pleaser

Pyramid Tower - an attraction for taking amazing photos - meeting point of the borders of Italy, Austria, Slovenia. The entrance fee is not cheap for a family of 2 + 2 (13 and 17) including sliding down the slide, a total of 53 euros. There is a large and tidy parking lot (2 lots). After payment, there are 2 options for going up. Elevator or stairs - about 12 steps up, not easy but challenging. The 10th floor is closed and pleasant (on a rainy day) you can go up to the 11th and 12th floors, open to the whole view and a place to take photos of the entire area.

Great panoramic view on the whole lake , impressive structure. Best to take the elevator up, and the stairs to get down, so you can really enjoy the scenic view. Parking was a bit tricky on the hilltop, as it was a busy day, but eventually found a spot.

Fabulous views of the surrounding area An impressive structure made of wood and metal, which offers fabulous views of the surrounding area - a lake, mountains. The height of a 12-story building. A separate attraction is a descent along a metal pipe from a height of 52 meters - the highest in Europe. The pipe runs inside the tower. I highly recommend it.

WOW! 👍👍👍🙏👍 Just go here! +60 meters closer to the heaven. 🥰 The view is out of this world, totally stunning... The long and winding road up to the hill can be a challenge, but it is safe. Please go there it is worth 15€ is very worthy.

Everything is fine there, except the price of 17 euros for the view. 5-10 minutes to see the area from the tower, nothing else to do there. The the view is great, but feels like "rip off".

Wörthersee, located in Klagenfurt, Carinthia, is a popular destination known for its stunning blue-green waters and breathtaking sunsets. Visitors can enjoy various activities such as swimming, boating, and cycling around the lake. The area also offers a picturesque countryside with small farms producing agricultural goods. Additionally, the charming village of Micheldorf is just a short distance from the lake, adding to the allure of this scenic region.
We visited Wörthersee during New Year's holidays. The Velden city is small, nice decorated with lights, cafes are open in the evening, hot wine and apple pie are delicious there ☺️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing place for relaxation and nature lovers! We spent a few peaceful days at Wörthersee and absolutely loved it. The water is crystal clear with beautiful turquoise tones, and the surroundings are breathtaking – calm, clean, and surrounded by mountains. There are plenty of quiet spots to relax, swim, or take a walk along the shore. Perfect for couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind in nature. Highly recommended – we would love to come back again!

Here are 2 of the best trails around: 1. Wörthersee Rundwanderweg • Distance: 55 kilometers • Difficulty: Moderate • Duration: 12-14 hours (can be split over multiple days) This is the most famous trail around Wörthersee, circling the entire lake. The trail offers breathtaking views of the lake from various vantage points and passes through charming villages such as Velden, Pörtschach, and Maria Wörth. You can explore forests, hills, and lakeside paths. The trail is well-marked and can be done in stages, making it accessible for all levels. 2. Pyramidenkogel Trail • Distance: 10 km • Difficulty: Moderate • Duration: 3-4 hours This trail leads to the Pyramidenkogel, a 100-meter-high wooden observation tower that offers 360-degree views of Wörthersee and the surrounding region. The hike starts in Reifnitz and takes you through scenic forests before reaching the summit. The ascent is a bit challenging, but the panoramic views from the top make it worth the effort. You can also take an elevator down after exploring the tower.

I love this lake. We go here every other summer, and I can’t be more happy here. I would definitely recommend a stay in Klagenfurt, but also in Velden!

A hidden gem 💎 yet to have international tourists invasion .. the west side of the lake is nicer with a lot to restaurants and options

A turquoise blue lake, mountain views and lush green nature. Wörthersee is a place which makes you to feel relaxed from the beginning. I think the only problem is that all the lakesides are surrounded by private beaches and hotels. However, there are lakeside locations that you can access for free. Especially Velden is an ideal town for having a walk and having a nice meal.

Beautiful place where you can enjoy a clean lake view with a walking track at one side. Lots of water sports activities and boat cruises are also available but only during summer. In winter everything stands still except 2-3 restaurants. We visited in winter so we witnessed Very few tourists and an ample amount of locals walking on the track and too many senior citizens (old to very old) were there.

Lake Ossiach, also known as Ossiacher See, is a stunning natural attraction nestled in the Nock Mountains range. Covering an area of 10.38 square kilometers, it is renowned for its exceptional beauty and tranquil surroundings. This picturesque lake, located just northeast of Villach, offers a serene escape with its 11-kilometer length and one-kilometer width.
Great place. New bathrooms and toilets very clean. The lake is breathtaking. The receptions ladies are exceptional. Remarks from us: On the standard place, the electricity box was located so far from our place that our 25 meter cable was not long enough. But we could lend the additional cable with 50 euro deposit from the reception. The dirty water disposal place is also located so far from where we stood (only available in one front building)

It was an awesome afternoon cruising the lake. Albeit there was a light rain, the restaurant/bar offered a warm refuge. The best view is from the top deck.
