Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is dedicating October to the bistrica plum, a local fruit from the Lika region. The plums are harvested locally and prepared using traditional methods, the park said on 13 October.
The Lička kuća restaurant offers home-style dishes with local ingredients featuring the plum, while the Waterfall restaurant at Hotel Jezero pairs it with seasonal produce in more creative cooking. Borje restaurant is also part of the October menu trail.
For sweeter breaks, Kozjak Caffe & Pastry and the Hotel Jezero lobby bar serve plum-inspired desserts and drinks. The park also highlights a bistrica plum jam made without added sugar, additives or artificial colouring.
