Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia. The significant nature reserve is one of the main tourist destinations in the country. The mountainous landscape and crystal clear blue lakes define the park and make it a recognizable site.
The water caused soft limestone to erode, thus creating karst formations. As a result a lot of waterfalls, caves and lakes have formed in the area. The wildlife in the park is also versatile: due to a very low pollution and protection, the untouched nature is home for many animal species.
During the peak season park is filled with the visitors. There are several hiking trails: the main stretches through the whole park and it takes about 4.5 hours to complete it. Boat trips allow to explore the crystal clear lake and see what hides under the water.

One of the most famous and beautiful national parks in Europe.
When to go there?
The most popular season is summer. Frozen lakes and waterfalls in winter also promise a lot of spectacular sites.
How to get there?
Get there by bus from Zagreb, Zadar or Split. If asked, the driver will stop at the entrance to the park.
