Plitvice and Zagreb Trip ✘ 9-10 May

Plitvice Lakes is the oldest and largest national park in Croatia. The park is situated in the mountainous region of the country. With its exceptional natural beauty, this area has always attracted nature lovers, and already in 1949, it was proclaimed Croatia’s first national park. The lake system consists of 16 named and several smaller unnamed lakes, cascading one into the next.

The process of tufa formation, which results in the building of the tufa, or travertine, barriers and resulted in the creation of the lakes, is the outstanding universal value, for which the Plitvice Lakes were internationally recognized in 1979 with their inscription onto the UNESCO World Heritage List.
