MTB Plitvice

One of Croatia's most popular tourist attractions - head off-road and explore the wilder part of Plitvice Lakes National Park with guided MTB tours, courtesy of downhill experts, MTB Plitvice.

On the WOW scale from one to ten, Plitvice National Park is a solid 9½. Rated as Croatia’s most popular tourist attraction. The beauty of the National Park lies in its sixteen lakes, inter-connected by a series of waterfalls, and set in deep woodland populated by deer, bears, wolves, boars and rare bird species. A UNESCO World Heritage status since 1979, it covers a total area of 300 square kilometres, whilst the lakes join together over a distance of 8 km.

But, what many people don't know is the national park goes beyond the lakes, in fact, the park is just under 30,000 hectares and has numerous cycle trails throughout the park -making it a great way to couple cycling with exploring Croatia's oldest national park...

Taking guests far from the busy paths lined with tourists, your local guide is on hand to show you a different side to this stunning national treasure.
