Veliki Slap

The tallest waterfall in Croatia is The Great Waterfall. It is a must-see location on your journey to Croatia because it is situated in the Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are 16 lakes in the National Park, which is about 8 km2. The Plitvice stream thundered over a 78-meter-high cliff to create the Great Waterfall. It produces the Sastavci Falls, which after 150 meters descend the travertine barrier and form the river Korana, along with the water from the Lower Lakes.

The Great Waterfall, also known as Veliki slap in Croatian, is regarded as the most stunning waterfall in the Plitvice region. Visitors are amazed by its shifting colors. The amount of sunshine and the minerals in the water both influence the hue. The water will have a green, gray, and blue appearance during the day. The Great Waterfall was produced by the Plitvice stream, which originates 3 km west at the base of the mountain Preke Kosa, unlike other Plitvice waterfalls, which were constructed by the rush of water between lakes over travertine barriers. The water levels at Plitvice Lakes are highest in the spring and fall. The subsurface wave blasts the water out after a few days of rain. The stream is forced to flow more forcefully down the waterfalls as a result. If you go in the winter, you might find that the waterfall is almost all frozen, creating an enormously magnificent ice sculpture.
