242. Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

What is it about waterfalls that is so damn romantic?  Just look at this place, it’s fantastic isn’t it?  Sixteen interlocking lakes sitting in a lush forest - it’s simply made for romance.  Walking the pathways through this park is just wonderful… that said, it can be quite busy especially in the summer.  For a better experience go early or go in the off season.  You can visit this place in the fall or the winter as well as the summer for a more quiet, romantic experience.
