Sight · Plitvice Lakes National Park
A small, mossy cascade worth a pause on the Upper Lakes walk.
Overview
Kozjački Slapovi is a small, multi-stream waterfall in Plitvice’s Upper Lakes area. Water slips over a moss-covered rock wall into a clear pool, with leafy growth hanging over the top. Treat it as a brief stop while exploring the lakes, not a separate destination.

The highest, rockiest slopes around here are a summer buffet for grizzly bears.

Entrance 2 and the Upper Lakes“Up ahead is the arrival area for Entrance Two, with the ticket gate farther inside the complex. For the Upper Lakes, Program E is a good choice: allow two to three hours for the boat crossing, lake walk and return ride.”

Guide
The cascades break into several narrow ribbons, with one stronger fall among the smaller streams. A wooden stepped path runs immediately beside the mossy wall. For a photo, include the steps and handrail with the water; that shows how close the walkway passes and gives the falls a sense of scale.
The park’s E tour starts at Entrance 2, crosses Lake Kozjak by electric boat, then walks through the Upper Lakes and returns by sightseeing train; the whole circuit is listed at 5.1 km and 2–3 hours. Its route description does not call Kozjački Slapovi out by name, so treat the map pin as a feature marker, not a confirmed signed stop. An approach from Bigina Poljana is also unverified; don’t plan around it.
