The little village was different to any that I have seen so far. It had a river running through it & streams running under and around the house, it was picture perfect sol lush and green, a few nice restaurants & cafes, same surrounded by water, you had to cross a little wooden bridge to get to it

Yes, there is a fee to enter this town! I guess, I can understand to some extent since tourism is probably what sustains it. But the price is also quite steep. However, you can always just walk around the periphery and sit n one of the cafes nearby. It is equally charming and atmospheric. However, try and arrive early in the day (we arrived late evening), and you will enjoy better. However beware, the Chinese have landed here as well with their cameras.

The most beautiful thing in whole Kordun area. Tourist loved it and so do locals. Fresh fish in restorants, you can pick it yourself.

We visited Rastoke as part of the Back-Roads Touring Co “Flavours of Northern Croatia & Slovenia” tour. It’s a historic watermill village (dating back 300 years) and it still has a couple of the original working watermills grinding flour. The watercourses run throughout the village and under and around the houses creating a beautiful scene. The village has been maintained in character and is very well laid out, clean and tidy. Everywhere you look there are fantastic photo opportunities and you need to take the time to wander and take it all in. The 3 waterfalls (Buk, Hrvoje and Vilina Kosa) are beautiful.

We stopped at Rastoke after visiting the Plitvice Lakes National Park. It was supposed to be just a photo stop, but we were so taken with this charming little village that we wandered around taking dozens of photos. Some of the houses are built over the water and the uneven land creates waterfalls right through the village. There are some small restaurants, but we had already eaten so didn't eat here. Some houses seemed to rent out rooms to tourists and this would be a tranquil place to stay for a night or two. We were the only tourists there. I hope the Croatian government makes sure that this village is preserved in its natural state as it is one of the prettiest in all of Croatia.

The day after visiting the Plitvice park, we went this place. It was magnificient.Waterfalls, houses, restaurants (there were only two). Actualy I liked this place more than the park itself. It is a must to go if you are there.

Waterfalls almost as incredible as Plitvice flow through this little village. Spend and hour or two exploring this amazing place!

It was raining when we arrived in Plitvice so we decided to wait for the next day to visit the park. This was most fortunate because we discovered the idyllic village of Rastoke, which was not in our guide book. The fog and rain added mystery and charm to the lovely village. We found simple and inexpensive accommodations at Anna on the main street next to the pizzeria. The rooms were simple but clean and comfortable. Anna was a great host, giving us a warm welcome with local liqueur and lit a fire in the woodstove to keep the dampness away. The next day we had a great visit to Plitvice under sunny skies.

the tiny village of Rastoke is about an hour's drive away from the lakes at Plitvice, great for a little stop on the way to / from Zagreb of further north. there are several small waterfalls scattered throughout the village and exhibits on how villagers used to harness the water energy to grind grain and wash their laundry, plus a little cave out the back that you can walk down to and have a look at.there's also a restaurant on site, perfect for a nice tea or lunch break. we only had coffee and cake though, so unable to comment on the food. definitely stop here for a bit when in the area!

Located right on the main road, this old milling village still functions (can also be viewed from the parking area above). The tour is at your own pace, the map is located on the back for your ticket. Just remember that you are walking thru someone backyard or garden while visiting. Even though the main road runs right above the village, we didn't hear a peep due the amount of water rushing over the falls. There's a restaurant which had some yummy looking items, unfortunately we had just eaten, bad timing on our part. We were lucky we arrived and had the place to ourselves. But the waitress told us they too have busloads of tourists arriving. Worth parking and taking a closer look!

We noticed this beautiful village on the way to Plitvice and are so happy that we spent some time there. This is a special spot. This village's history as a mill town and the beauty of the waterfalls around every corner make it unique. Waterfalls under the bridges, the homes, and under the bars (Vodena Ovca) were an unexpected delight and photo opportunity!

This is just only a distance of less than two hours from Plitvice and very small old town on the clear water or brook. It used be a town of mill and still they perform how to make bread from the scratch . The back and front yards of every house is crystal clear shallow stream,

Rastoke is nice mill village just under road between Zagreb and Plitvice Lakes National Park. It is amazing place to drop by on travel, to drink caffe on top of mini waterfalls. Also have nice and cheap village accomondation.
