Nacionalni Park Plitvicka Jezera (Plitvice Lakes National Park) Description: Plitvice Lakes National Park, in the heart of Croatia, consists of 16 beautiful blue-green lakes, linked by a series of waterfalls and cascades to form a chain through a wooded valley. Over thousands of years, the waters that flow through this area have passed over limestone and chalk, creating deposits which form natural barriers between the lakes. The lakes range in height from Proscansko Jezero at 636.6m (1746ft) above sea level, to the lowest, Kaludjerovac, at 505.2m (1386ft), and in surface area from 81 hectares (33 acres) to one hectare (2.5 acres). Many species of rare bird inhabit the woods around the lakes, as do bears and wolves. Aside from the great beauty of the Plitvice Lakes, which afford many opportunities for hiking, boating and other activities, visitors come here to breathe in the pure mountain air and enjoy local hospitality in the traditional lodges and hotels that lie within the bounds of the park.
