NATIONAL PARK, CROATIA

Piltvice Lakes
(16 lakes on different levels)

The waters which have flowed across the limestone and chalk have, over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams which in turn have created a series of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These geological processes continue today. The forests of the park are a refuge for bears, wolves and many rare bird species.
