Photos of Plitvice Lakes National Park

Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest national park in southeastern Europe and one of the largest national parks in Croatia. Because there are mainly 16 lakes, the park is also called Plitvice Lakes National Park. It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1979. Plitvice Lakes National Park has always attracted many nature lovers for its unique natural beauty. Most of the park is covered with forest vegetation, and the ecological environment is very favorable. There are many natural dikes formed by limestone deposits in the park, which in turn form lakes, caves and waterfalls. Its lake system consists of 16 named lakes and several smaller cascade lakes, which are divided into upper and lower lakes due to the geological matrix and characteristic hydrogeological conditions. In addition, it is home to bears, wolves and many rare birds. In addition to viewing animals and plants, the park also provides visitors with eight lakeside tourism projects and four hiking trails, allowing visitors to fully experience the fun of wild life.
