Galovački Buk

This must be one of the most photographed waterfalls in the Plitvice Lakes national park. To photograph here you will need a lot of patience as the boardwalk is very shaky and there are always many people passing by.

This is the biggest waterfall of the upper lakes. After heavy rains the flow of water is impressive and you’ll be wet from the spray just walking past!
