Several days

The whole Premuzic Trail is 42.6 km, from Zavizan to Baske Ostarije, built between 1930 and 1933 and held at about 1,500 m. Park huts allow it to be split into stages. The mountain park is usually open between early May and mid-November.

Plitvice rules that affect walkers

The programmes are A, B, C, E, F, H, K1 and K2. A day ticket for an adult costs 10 euros in winter, 23 euros in spring and in October, and 40 euros in summer. In winter the Upper Lakes are typically closed until early April. Cycling, fishing, camping, fires and drones are all banned on the paths, dogs go on a leash, and nobody swims.

Safety

  • Keep to marked paths. The UK government lists unexploded mines in remote areas, including parts of Plitvice, and advises against walking on uncultivated land.
  • Ask the park about trail conditions before a Velebit walk.
  • On the Senj coast, check the DHMZ forecast for bura.
