Veliki slap, Tallest waterfall in Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
The Veliki slap waterfall drops 78 meters from the Plitvica Potok River into the Korana River through a single vertical cascade in northern Croatia.
The waterfall became part of Plitvice Lakes National Park in 1949, leading to its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site thirty years later.
The name Veliki slap translates to Great Waterfall in Croatian, reflecting the local population's recognition of its physical dominance in the region.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through entrance 1 of the national park, with free parking available near a dedicated viewing platform.
During winter months, the water flow occasionally freezes completely, transforming the 78-meter cascade into a natural ice formation.
