Spring flowers are plants that bloom in early spring, often as early as February or March, right after the snow melts. They herald the arrival of warmer days and grow quickly before the trees leaf out and block their sunlight, typically blooming for only a few weeks to a couple of months. This precious natural phenomenon, when nature adorns itself with a magical floral cloak, is truly a unique experience. Before summer arrives, sending spring flowers into dormancy or weakening them with high temperatures, visit the Plitvice region and enjoy not only their beauty but also our specially tailored accommodation packages, school holiday offers, Women’s Day celebrations with mothers, sisters, and daughters, early booking discounts, and a fusion of traditional and modern dishes from our restaurant.

Experience the Most Beautiful Spring Flowers in the Plitvice Region
Plitvice Lakes are rich in various spring flowers, some of the most beautiful being:
Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) – The first herald of spring
Crocus (Crocus sp.) – Covering meadows and forest clearings in purple, white, or yellow blooms
Primrose (Primula vulgaris) – Another common spring flower with yellow blossoms
Violet (Viola odorata) – A fragrant purple flower often growing in shady areas
Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) – White bell-shaped flowers with a strong fragrance (though toxic)
Dog’s-tooth Violet (Erythronium dens-canis) – A rare and protected species
Hellebore (Helleborus odorus) – Blooms very early, often as early as February
Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) – Also known as wood anemone, a delicate white forest flower
Hepatica (Hepatica nobilis) – Featuring blue or purple flowers
Why Are Spring Flowers Important?
They serve as an essential food source for the first bees and butterflies emerging from hibernation.
They help maintain the biodiversity of forest ecosystems.
Their colors and scents mark the beginning of nature’s spring awakening.
Their brief blooming period reminds us to appreciate fleeting moments.
Like any magic, this one is also short-lived. As soon as the canopies of beech, maple, ash, cornelian cherry, hornbeam, alder, cherry, rowan, and other forest trees turn green, they shade the forest floor and unintentionally deprive spring flowers of sunlight, their primary source of life.

Guest Reviews:
“The food is fantastic! I ordered a steak because I always order steak to test a restaurant (and because it’s often bad), but this one was delicious!” – Fitness trainer Andrea Solomun.
“The food in the restaurant is excellent! From traditional Lika specialties to modernized dishes and a typical Lika breakfast – everything is amazing.
