Plitvice lakes

Plitvice lakes were declared as a national park in 1949.

The area of Plitvice lakes is situated in a valley where there are sixteen marvelous lakes with very intensive blue-green water. Lakes are fed by small brooks and spill into each other in many cascades and waterfalls.

The area is open for tourists. The footpath on a wooden trail leads through the park, around the lakes and below the cascades and waterfalls.

The Plitvice lakes were entered in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.
