What makes a good sunset at Plitvice Lakes?
Plitvice is a forested canyon with 16 terraced lakes connected by waterfalls and travertine barriers, and it's less about the horizon and more about light quality. At golden hour the warm low-angle light saturates the turquoise water and makes the travertine rock formations glow. The canyon walls filter direct sunlight, so you're shooting diffused warm light rather than a sky composition. The lower lakes near the Great Waterfall are the most dramatic. Note that the park has closing times that may limit access to the final minutes of golden hour.
