Dreamy!


The Plitvice Lake National Park (Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera) is situated in the mountainous karst area of central Croatia, bordering Bonsia and Herzegovina.  The park is about 73,350 acres and is a World Heritage Site.  Over one million visitors enjoy the park each year. The park is famous for it's amazing lakes arranged in a cascading fashion. Sixteen lakes can be seen from the surface and all are interconnected.  They are separated by natural travertine dams.  The lakes are separated into upper and lower clustesrs formed by runoff from the mountains.  The waters from the lowest lake form the Kornana River.  The lakes are clear and beautifully colored from blue to green to green.  The colors often change with the contents of minerals and organisms in the water and the level of sunlight :).  Beautiful.. no?
