Plitvice Lakes, Croatia · 42 min: more from Croatia →
A walk around a lake is one of the most relaxing walks there is. The path is usually flat, the view keeps changing as you go round, and on a still morning the water turns into a mirror for the mountains above. These videos circle some of the most photographed lakes in the world, from glacier-fed turquoise lakes in the Rockies to the terraced waters of Croatia.
Europe's famous lakes
Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a chain of sixteen terraced lakes joined by waterfalls, crossed by wooden boardwalks that run just above the water; it was one of the first natural sites on the UNESCO World Heritage list. In Slovenia, Lake Bled has a tiny island with a church in the middle and a castle on a cliff above, and a level path runs all the way around the shore.
In the Dolomites, Lago di Braies reflects a sheer rock wall in emerald water, while Oeschinensee, high above Kandersteg in Switzerland, is reached by a mountain path and surrounded by cliffs and waterfalls. Germany's Titisee, in the Black Forest, is the gentler, wooded version of a mountain lake.
The Rockies, the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand
Canada's Rocky Mountains are known for lakes of an unreal blue, coloured by fine rock flour carried down from glaciers. Moraine Lake, below the Valley of the Ten Peaks in Banff National Park, and Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park are two of the most famous. In Washington, Lake Crescent sits deep in the forests of Olympic National Park, beautiful even in the rain.
On New Zealand's South Island, Lake Wanaka is framed by the Southern Alps, with a lakeside path that is perfect for a slow walk. Pick a lake below and walk the shore at your own pace.
