Croatia is one of the ecologically best-preserved parts of Europe. It is a land where the hues of the sunny and warm Mediterranean happily blend with the tranquillity and freshness of the mountains and the gentle sway of the golden plains of Pannonia.

Plitvice Lakes National Park is Croatia's first National park, established in 1949, covering 296.85 square km of breathtaking natural splendour, making it the largest among the country's 8 national parks, ranging in altitude from 367 m to 1279 m above sea level.

The Plitvice National Park is beautiful in any season.

The park was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1979, recognising its "outstanding natural beauty and undisturbed production of travertine (tufa) through chemical and biological action". It represents a phenomenon of karst hydrography.

The park harbours a grand collection of waterfalls, a gallery of lakes, forests and a diversity of animal life. The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. They change constantly depending on the number of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.

The 16 lakes are formed by natural dams of travertine & separated into upper and lower lakes. There are 8 km of good pathways and wooden walking trails around lakes, accessible even by wheelchair and steeper, narrower mountain paths, too.

We also plan to visit the small but stunning village of Rastoke, which is formed by the play of nature on the place where the River Slunjčica connects with the River Korana. Nature played with the blue-green waters and spread them into many big and small waterfalls.

Rastoke is known for its 18th-century flour mills and homes, built in traditional architectural styles.
