At our last visit here in the beginning of October, the national part was “dressed” in the autumn colors, green, yellow and brown, I think it was quite beautiful?

hello,I have recently booked my accommodation for my visit in Plitvice lake somewhere 10km from the park in a town called Oštarski Stanovi .i could not find any information regarding public transport in the area. I was wondering how can i travel from this place to the park and vice versa . thank you in advance ! Your site is very informative and has been really helpful in our trip planning.
Hi John,
Are you sure that the town is called Oštarski Stanovi? to me that looks like a street name in Rakovica which is about 12 km from the NP?
If that is the case you should have a few daily buses, but the easiest would be to ask the apartment owner, they fore sure should have this kind of information available!

Hi there, I was wondering if there is a bus timetable website anywhere, as i am unable to find information on buses from Plitvice to Dubrovnik.
I am hoping that the buses are fairly regular so that we can arrive in good time from Plitvice to check in in good time in Dubrovnik and enjoy the rest of our time in Croatia.
Many Thanks for any help you can give.
Hi Clare, no regular buses, as far as i remember there is only a bus at 9 or 9.30 from Park arrival in Dubrovnik at 20.30 or so.
