The area of the Plitvice Lakes National Park provides a perfect setting for cycling. If you choose this trip, you will spend the day enjoying the pleasant shade of the forest road and a landscape of endless green fields. There are very few cars on these roads and this is what makes them peaceful and safe. The road will take you through hills and beech forest to the Barac caves where you will have a guided tour.
