Croatia Plitvice Lakes Photography Extension

2027 Croatia Plitvice Lakes National Park Photography Extension Travel Plans

Tuesday, June 15

Continue with Natural Exposures from the 2027 Slovenia Photography Tour.

After breakfast, we say farewell to Slovenia and drive to a stunning national park in Croatia – Plitvice Lakes National Park. We’ll head straight into Plitvice after check-in at Hotel Degenija (4-star, or similar) for evening photography and a sunset shoot.

Wednesday, June 16 & Thursday, June 17

The waters of Plitvice Lakes, flowing over the limestone and chalk, have, over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers. This created natural dams, which in turn have created a series of beautiful lakes, caves, and waterfalls.

We’ll have two full days to photograph this incredible UNESCO World Heritage site. You’ll have the opportunity to try different photography techniques, including using tripods and long exposures, as well as work on composition. Enjoy free time exploring the lakes alone before meeting in the late afternoon to make the most of the golden light and reflections in the waters.

Overnight at Hotel Degenija (or similar)

Morning photography in the park. We’ll visit one of the sunrise locations at Plitvice Lakes or head to nearby Rastoke village, where the Korana River created another set of beautiful waterfalls and cascades.
