点评:Plitvice Lakes is an absolute must-visit if you’re travelling to Croatia. We visited as a family and had an amazing day exploring the park.
We started at Entrance 2 and would definitely recommend doing the same. It means you tackle the upper lakes first while it’s cooler and quieter, and, as a bonus, you’re walking downhill for most of the route. We followed Route H, which took us around 5 hours with plenty of stops for photos, although it’s officially a 4–6 hour walk.
The lakes themselves are breathtaking. The colour of the water is unlike anything we’ve ever seen – the photos are incredible, but you really have to see it in person to appreciate it.
By the time we reached the lower lakes, it had become much busier, particularly with large guided tour groups, which made the narrow boardwalks feel quite crowded at times.
There were a couple of negatives. The car park was chaotic, with people parking wherever they could. Considering you have to pay for parking, it could definitely be better managed. We also found the start of the route a little confusing, with limited signage from the car park. You need to make your way downhill to catch the shuttle bus to the top before beginning your walk, but we only knew that because we’d done our research beforehand.
Despite those minor frustrations, Plitvice Lakes is one of the most beautiful places we’ve visited and is somewhere we’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Croatia.
翻译:如果你去克罗地亚旅游,普利特维采湖群绝对是必去之地。我们全家一起前往,度过了非常愉快的一天,尽情探索了这个公园。
我们从2号入口进入,强烈建议其他游客也这么做。这样可以在天气较凉爽、人相对较少的时候先游览上层的湖泊;此外,大部分路段都是下坡路,行走起来十分轻松。我们走的是H路线,虽然官方建议的游览时间为4到6小时,但由于我们中途多次停下拍照,实际上花了大约5个小时才走完全程。这些湖泊本身美得令人窒息。湖水的颜色是我们从未见过的——照片虽然很震撼,但唯有亲临现场才能真正领略其魅力。
当我们抵达下方的湖泊区时,那里已经热闹了许多,尤其是有大量旅游团蜂拥而至,导致狭窄的木栈道时常显得极为拥挤。
也有几点不足之处:停车场一片混乱,人们随心所欲地随便停车。考虑到需要支付停车费,这里的管理情况肯定还有改进空间。我们也觉得路线起点处有些令人困惑,因为停车场周围的指示牌很少。游客必须先下山才能搭乘穿梭巴士前往山顶,进而开始徒步行程;不过我们事先做了功课,所以才知晓这一点。
尽管有些小麻烦,不过……普利特维采湖群是我们游览过的最美丽的地方之一,我们极力推荐给所有前往克罗地亚的游客。
