Plitvice Lakes in Croatia

Imagine a series of 16 lakes on top of the mountain.

That's the beauty of Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. The lakes were formed from travertine, a distinct kind of limestone that gathers from calcium carbonate-rich surface waters on the surface of living moss.

It then forms growing barriers and eventually creates a chain of lakes and waterfalls. Located in the Lika region of Croatia, amid the Dinaric Alps, the lakes are the main attraction of the town; however, the whole region of Plitvice is a national park.

The 16 lakes are divided into two, 12 are called the Upper Lakes (Gornja jezera), and the other four are the Lower Lakes (Donja jezera).

Experience Croatia at its finest!
