    Paradise In The Devil’s Garden: Plitvice Waterfalls.




    Plitvice National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where 16 gorgeous lakes from azure to green to gray are said to constantly be changing colors based on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and depending upon the angle of sunlight. It’s an amazing natural phenomena and just one of the many reasons people come to Plitvice.Photo #1 by Desktop Nexus

    The large waterfall. Plitvice stream water descends through the rocks, forming a 255 feet high (78 m) amphitheater of the Great falls — the highest waterfall in Croatia. Photo #5 by Donarreiskoffer




    World of Waterfall said of Plitvice, “It’s not all that unfamiliar to see a sequence that goes like waterfalls-lake-waterfalls-lake, etc. etc. It’s probably one of the more memorable waterfall attractions in the world.” Photo #6 by Jack Brauer via Matheepan Panchalingam




    Plitvička Jezera is also known as Plitvice Lakes National Park. The protected area of this National Park “extends over 296.85 square kilometres (73,350 acres). In 1979, Plitvice Lakes National Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage register among the first natural sites worldwide. Each year, more than 1,200,000 visitors are recorded.” Photo #7 by Desktop Nexus

It is still unexplained if the fish have lived in this area since ancient times, or if they were populated in the last 100 years. Photo #9 by Emmanuel Tabard

    Phenomenal beauty. Limestone peaks rise in the area with the highest being Seliski Peak at 4,196 feet (1,279 meters). The water travels underground but encounters karst obstacles, creating numerous creeks that enrich the lakes. Photo #10 by w-lad via poppy

    The cave and walkways. “The underground configuration of the Plitvice Lakes consists of various geologic features. Generally, the whole area of Plitvice Lakes National Park can be attributed to the South-East European karst area. The typical feature of this karst area is brittle or porous rock, mostly limestone or dolomite. This configuration creates different geomorphological phenomena being referred to as dolina (sinkhole), polje, uvala, ponor, etc.” Photo #12 by OaklandNative

    Wikipedia explains about Plitvice: “The overall water body area is about 2 square kilometers. The two largest lakes, Prošćansko jezero and Kozjak, cover about 80% of the overall water body area. These lakes are also the deepest, with a depth of 37 and 47 meters respectively (about 121 – 154 feet). On Lake Kozjak, low-noise and ecologically-friendly electric boats are being used. None of the other lakes in the park exceeds 25 meters (82 feet) in depth. The altitude drop from the first lake to the last is 133 meters (436 feet).” Photo #14 by poppy

Up to now, little has been known about these unexplored courses. At first sight, a lack of water in the karst region could be ascertained. However, this is only the case on the surface. The major part of natural phenomena takes place underground, where an abundance of water exists. Photo #18 by Éole Wind

      The World of Waterfalls states, “These waterfalls were apparently tourist attractions even since the late 19th century. We learned this from a plaque alongside the Galvanovac that stated that Plitvice was named after a world famous Croatian opera singer at the time. So, this is hardly a new attraction though it seems to only be coming into its own as a world class tourist attraction recently.” Photo #19 by Bruno Monginoux

      Meandering along the walkway. “The lakes are divided into two groups: the upper lakes (12), surrounded by a vast forest, are larger and calmer, while the lower 4 lie at the foot of a 70 meter cliff (≈ 229 feet) and are surrounded by vegetation. The Plitvice Lakes offer its visitors kilometers of trails, the majority of which are in the shape of wooden bridges, that are elevated above the lakes and connect each mainland with winding paths.” Photo #23 by Total Wallpapers

        With its characteristic karstic base, the waters of Plitvice Lakes are rich in calcium bicarbonate, which is decomposed into calcium carbonate due to water breaking on the barriers. It’s a long of sublime natural beauty. Photo #34 by mr.cacadu-

        Plitvice Lakes National Park may be famous for its falls and clear turquoise water, but more than 80% of it is covered with natural forest that prevent erosion. The forests provide a habitat for a diverse and rich fauna. The Forest National Park is a haven for all three European large carnivores (bear, wolf and lynx). Photo #36 by Superb Wallpapers





        Sublime Plitvice Lakes, Croatia. Adventure possibilities here include: “The Plitvice Lakes are perfect for long walks or taking a boat ride on the lakes to get a better view of how beautiful they are. There is also a tourist train for those of you who don’t like walking. Walking through the park is good for your eyes – green is a soothing color and long walks and fresh air balance body and spirit. For those of you in search of adventure we suggest rafting on the Korana River. It is especially exciting in springtime, when the river overflows from the melted snow. Your desire for adventure can be satisfied on the rapids of the Korana River either by canoe or kayak. This is a mountainous region, which means the possibilities are endless when it comes to hiking and free climbing.” Photo #37 by Clark & Kim Kays
