the Plitvice Lakes National Park

The Plitvice Lakes known as "Falling lakes" have enjoyed the status of

a national park since 1949, and since 1979 it has been under the

protection of UNESCO. The lakes are positioned between the Mala Kapela

and Pljesivica mountains, in the region of Lika (139 km from Zagreb ).

This is a unique system of 16 lakes linked together by a series of

waterfalls which cascade over countless travertine barriers.
