Veliki Slap (the Great Waterfall) is the largest cascade in Plitvice Lakes National Park and is an awesome sight. Here, the River Plitvica plunges 256 feet (78 m) into the lake below. It's a hugely popular part of the park, so arrive early to avoid the crowds.

Hiking

The stairs at the "Great Waterfall" are currently a one-way street and can only be used from top to bottom. Perhaps not entirely uninteresting for route planning 😉

Hiking

Veliki Slap is the highest waterfall in Plitvice Lakes National Park. The height is 78 meters. It lies at the end of the Lower Lakes. Since it is a magnet for visitors, is currently in a cul-de-sac and is in the immediate vicinity of Entrance 1, it is advisable to visit it as early as possible (otherwise it will be tight).
