National Park is famous for its 16 crystal clear lakes, connected by more than 90 waterfalls.
The lakes are separated by natural dams made of travertine, a type of limestone that is deposited by the water. These dams create a series of waterfalls and cascades that are not only beautiful to look at but also provide important habitats for a diverse range of plant and animal species.
In addition to the lakes and waterfalls, the park is also famous for its rich flora and fauna, including numerous species of birds, fish, amphibians, and mammals such as brown bears, wolves, and deer.
The park was founded in 1949. In 1979, Plitvice Lakes was one of the first natural places added to the UNESCO World Heritage register. The park is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Croatia.
