Experience the combination of nature and technology in the Plitvice Lakes National Park - where innovation meets the beauty of nature! Now you can worry-free capture memories and charge your devices while enjoying a peaceful vacation.

"Our commitment to sustainability meets your needs for a seamless and environmentally friendly visit", they point out from the National Park.

In a constant effort to improve the visitor experience, Plitvička jezera National Park has strategically integrated innovative solutions in line with the growing needs and preferences of guests. 

Recognizing the prevalence of mobile device usage among visitors to capture memories, especially at high-traffic locations such as Entrance 1 and Auxiliary Entrance 2 – Flora, they introduced solar-powered smart benches and tables.

These premium additions not only provide guests with a peaceful place to rest, but also offer the convenience of charging their mobile devices using sustainable solar energy. The implementation of these smart benches marks a significant step towards modernizing the service offering and ensuring a seamless experience for visitors.

The incorporation of advanced solar panel technology allows these benches and tables to use solar energy throughout the day. This energy is then used to power the filling stations, thereby reducing the consumption of conventional energy and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. 

"The acceptance of renewable energy sources is the basis of our mission of sustainable development", it is stated on the official website pages Plitvice Lakes National Park.

In addition to practicality, smart benches and tables significantly contribute to improving the overall experience of visitors inside the park. Guests can now fully immerse themselves in the area's natural beauty without worrying about a dead mobile device battery.

This technological integration ensures a continuous connection with nature, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the splendor of the park.
