Guide
Flora Café Bar is a café bar in the central zone of Plitvice Lakes National Park, beside panorama train station ST2 and near Hotel Jezero and Kozjak Lake. It’s a useful pause when your visit brings you through this lakeside hub; it doesn’t need a separate detour.
Hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, piroška pastry and strudels make for a quick refreshment break. Visitor feedback on coffee and sandwiches is mixed; choose Flora for the location and a snack, not for a particular dish.
Kozjak is the largest and deepest lake in the park and one of the Upper Lakes. At Kozjak, two lakes once sat on either side of a waterfall before merging underwater to form the lake now beside Flora.
