Plitvice Lakes National Park

Plitvice Lakes National Park

Is one of the oldest national park in Croatia. In 1979, Plitvice Lakes National Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage register. Contains a series of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These have been formed by processes typical of karst landscapes such as the deposition of travertine barriers, creating natural dams. These geological processes continue today.

Plitvice lakes

The waters flowing over the limestone and chalk have, over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams which in turn have created a series of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These geological processes continue today. The forests in the park are home to bears, wolves and many rare bird species.
