Magic Aria Bihac

Twelve rooms make up Magic Aria Bihac, a small guesthouse on Ćirića put outside the Plitvice Lakes National Park entrance gates, built for travellers who want the park's waterfalls and boardwalks within a short morning drive rather than a base inside Zagreb or Zadar's tourist crowds.

Rooms keep a plain, functional layout with private bathrooms and mountain-facing windows; no restaurant on site, but the owners point guests to a family-run konoba five minutes down the road for grilled trout and local plum rakija.

The unmarked forest roads nearby suit hikers and drivers with their own transport more than those relying on tour buses.
