Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia’s biggest National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, is a stunning place to visit any time of year, but in winter it can be extra special.

Snow and sub-zero temperatures over the past week, thanks to the ‘Beast from the East’ polar vortex which swept down from Siberia, turned the park into a winter wonderland.

Plitvice Lakes’s chain of 16 terraced lakes, joined by waterfalls, that extend into a limestone canyon, was spectacular as it froze over and Croatian photographer and filmmaker Goran Šafarek was there to capture it in 4K.

Enjoy the breathtaking footage.
