Sastavci

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

Sastavci is not "also called" Veliki Slap. They are two different falls. Veliki Slap is the "Great Falls" (i.e., the tallest/highest waterfall in the park). Sastavci is the waterfall below Veliki Slap, that will be on your right as you're heading toward Veliki. Anyway, semantics aside, this waterfall is pretty cool b/c you walk right by/over it. It's especially nice in the morning when the gorge below is misty from the spray of these falls.

Visited over two days and did trail B and trail E. Both excellent and breathtaking views. Start as early as you can as it just gets busier. Terrain nice and easy and nota problem.

Mali Buk

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

One of the prettiest falls in the park, in my opinion. Also, you can pull off the boardwalk here a smidge to linger (as long as it's not crowded, as it very much can be) and get some good photos. Located in the Upper Lakes area of the park, this waterfall is most easily accessed by entering Gate 2, though it's worth it to go to the Lower Lakes area as well. The whole park is beautiful.

Veliki Slap

Reviewed By mcr1018 - Phoenix, United States

There are three good ways to view the Veliki Slap (also known as The Big Waterfall on the park maps). The view from the top at Ulz Entrance 1 gives the full impression from high across the canyon; the view from the bottom of the falls requires a hike down and across, usually wending around lots of people; and the view from above at the top on the side of P3. Each provides a different appreciation. Earlier and later in the day, when the tour groups have not yet shown up or have disappeared might create a better sense.

Veliki Prstavac

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

Gorgeous falls, like the rest in the park but maybe one of my faves. This area can get congested though, so best to visit early in an attempt to avoid the herds. Veliki Prstavac is in the Upper Lakes area, so most easily accessed by entering at Gate 2 and taking the short ferry across and walking up from there.

Slapovi Milke Trnine

Reviewed By dicksmith24 - Bradenton, United States

Must be 8 levels of falls. Beautiful water, clear and full of trout. Excellent hiking path for 3 miles. Use bus to top....start 1/2 way no need to go to top, same views but better on lower half unless you enjoy hiking. Boards are tough to see, watch your step.
