Kupalište Bistro is a quick-service bistro beside P1, the electric-boat dock on Lake Kozjak. It works best as an easy meal break within the park circuit, not a separate detour. There’s an outdoor terrace right on the shore, with grilled dishes and cold drinks. Menu details can shift, so don’t plan around a specific dish; payment is card-only.

Kozjak is the park’s largest and deepest lake, and the bistro’s shore terrace looks toward the Upper Lakes waterfalls. The lake is also known for Štefanija’s Island, 275 metres long and 60 metres wide, plus the Burget waterfalls and the Rječica stream flowing into it. Those are the landmarks that make this more than a convenient place to sit down between boat rides.

“Kupalište” means a bathing site, but swimming is forbidden throughout Plitvice Lakes National Park. This is a place to stop for food or a cold drink, not to get in the water.
