You are most welcome to join trip to the 16 lakes flowing down natural staircases, one into another, creating magnificent falls between untouched wilderness located on 20 000 hectares of national park. Park is under UNESCO patronage from 1979 as a world natural heritage. Bright brooks, naturarally formed curtains and channels, charming wilderness with impenetrable forests, harmony of nature which, during long centuries, has modeled mighty waterfalls with, on top of them all, 75- metre high, unmatched Fall of Plitvice.
The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. The colours change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.
The Plitvice Lakes national park is heavily forested, mainly with beech, spruce, and fir trees, and features a mixture of Alpine and Mediterranean vegetation. It has a notably wide variety of plant communities, due to its range of microclimes, differing soils and varying levels of altitude.
The Plitvice Lakes lie in a basin of karstic rock, mainly dolomite and limestone, which has given rise to their most distinctive feature. The lakes are separated by natural dams of travertine, which is deposited by the action of moss, algae and bacteria. The encrusted plants and bacteria accumulate on top of each other, forming travertine barriers which grow at the rate of about 1 cm per year.
