After an eventful day of rescuing elves (yes, really!), we made our way to a cozy apartment near Plitvice Lakes, booked through Booking.com. With the snow still blanketing the ground from the previous week, the entire area looked like a scene out of a winter fairytale.

The next morning, we set out to explore the breathtaking Plitvice Lakes National Park. The hills dusted in snow made the emerald waters of the lakes shimmer even more beautifully. We strolled along the trails, marvelling at the cascading waterfalls and taking in the serenity of the surroundings. After some quality time soaking in the views, we grabbed a comforting hot chocolate while waiting for the boat that would ferry us across the lake. The short ride was peaceful and gave us a new perspective of the landscape before we hopped on a bus back to the starting point.

With Plitvice behind us, we hit the road again for our next stop: Camp Terme Jezerčica. After about two hours of driving, we arrived at the family-friendly resort, and Georgia’s eyes lit up the moment she spotted the indoor pool. It was nearly 5 PM, and while the outdoor waterpark was closed for the winter, the resort’s indoor offerings were more than enough to keep us entertained.

We quickly changed into our swim gear and headed to the pools, which included three indoor heated options, a dedicated kids’ area, and even indoor slides. The evening turned into a splash filled adventure with smiles, laughter, and fun for all of us. Georgia and Dotty couldn’t get enough of the slides, and even Ali and I found ourselves caught up in the fun.

By the end of the day, we were all feeling a bit knackered, understatement of the year! but it was well worth it. From snowy landscapes to poolside adventures. Now we’re ready for whatever tomorrow brings!

If you’re looking for a family-friendly escape with a mix of outdoor wonder and indoor fun, both Plitvice Lakes and Camp Terme Jezerčica should be on your travel list.

Tip:

• Visiting Plitvice Lakes in the snow is magical, but bring several warm layers and sturdy shoes for the trails.

Stay tuned for more of our adventures as we continue exploring this magical part of the world!
