Image
World heritage plitvice lakes national park is a series of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. There are 16 interlinked lakes between Mala Kapela Mountain and Pljesevica Mountain. The lakes are divided into two systems as upper lakes and lower lakes. There are so many species live in the forests. The waters flowing over the limestone and chalk have, over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams which in turn have created a series of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These geological processes continue today. The forests in the park are home to bears, wolves and many rare bird species. The site was accepted in a World Heritage Site in 1979.
