Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest national park in Southeast Europe and the largest national park in Croatia.
The national park is world famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. Currently, 16 lakes can be seen from the surface.
The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colors, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. The colors change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.
The national park area is home to many endemic species. Those species that prevailed at the lakes before the arrival of man still exist.
Mosses, algae and water plants play a major role in forming the unique landscape of the Plitvice Lakes and its tufa barriers.
Rare fauna such as the European brown bear, wolf, eagle, owl, lynx, wild cat, and capercaillie can be found here.
