Discover the enchanting beauty Slap, also known as The Big Waterfall, nestled within Croatia's UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes National Park. Witness the breathtaking cascade of crystal-clear waters as they flow into the tranquil lake below. This natural wonder, a favorite among visitors, is just one of the many treasures hidden within this breathtaking destination. Fun fact: Veliki Slap is not only a natural wonder but also a significant historical landmark. It was named after HIMS Petr Veliki, a Russian warship that sank in the nearby lake during World War I. The last rays of sunlight reflecting off the waterfall create a magical scene, reminiscent of the romantic verses penned by D'Annunzio at War. Step back in time and explore the rich history of the region, from the Moscow-inspired Belltower in the Kremlin to the remnants of the past that lie hidden within the depths of the park. Veliki Slap is more than just a waterfall – it's a testament to the power and beauty of nature, as well as a reminder of the historical significance of this remarkable place.
