Plitvice Lakes national park

Plitvice lakes are one of eight Croatian national parks, among which, they are oldest, largest and most visited. They are unique carst fenomenon, habitat of various rare species and the only nature fenomenon in Republic of Croatia on UNESCO's World heritage list. Entire complex contains 16 lakes, conected with cascades and waterfalls, among which is Large Waterfall, largest waterfall in Croatia, 78 meters high.

With regard to plant and animal diversity, the area of the Plitvice Lakes belongs to the most significant areas of Croatia. On the one hand, this is due to climatic conditions and on the other hand due to the location of this area, since the lakes are far away from polluted and noisy cities or industrial plants. For reasons of the poor industrial development of this region and early introduced protection measures, a nearly untouched landscape has been preserved.
