Project Description

Plitvice lakes are a natural phenomenon, a jewel of inestimable value. Between Mala kapela and Pljesivica, in the area where the river Korana has its source, there are 16 large and numerous small lakes which are connected by small, medium and large waterfalls after which the river Korana continues its journey to Karlovac. Due to the natural beauty of the waterfalls, cascades, caves and rocks, which offer a beautiful mosaic of colors, sounds and shapes surrounded by high mountain forest terrain, Plitvice lakes and its surroundings were in 1949 declared a National Park, and since 1979 have been under the UNESCO protection.
