For visitors and especially photographers, Plitvice National Park is a real treat. Waterfalls, aqua-green lakes, lush forests, inviting paths and graphically meandering boardwalks over crystal-clear streams provide the ingredients for this visual feast.
The park features 16 lakes cascading from 2,087 to 1,650 feet in elevation over a distance of 5 miles. What makes Plitvice so amazing and unique are the naturally formed dams of travertine that separate the lakes. These dams are made from the interaction of moss, algae and bacteria. The plants and bacteria build on top of each other and grow at a rate of 1 cm per year.
Plitvice Lakes National Park is listed on the Unesco World Heritgage Register and is truly an experience not to be missed if you visit this part of the world.
