Plitvice

It was declared a national park on April 8, 1949 and became the first national park in Croatia. It was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979, and thus received international recognition for its unique universal value.
It is interesting that the majority of the park is made up of forest vegetation and grasslands, while only slightly less than 1% of the park’s surface is made up of water bodies.
The Plitvice Lakes are best known for their lake system, which consists of 16 named lakes and numerous smaller lakes. The lake system is divided into Upper and Lower lakes due to the geological foundations. The upper lakes are wider and more divergent than the lower lakes. The upper lakes consist of: Prošćansko jezero, Ciginovac, Okrugljak, Batinovac, Veliko jezero, Malo jezero, Vir, Galovac, Milino jezero, Gradinsko jezero, Burgeti and Kozjak. The lower lakes consist of: Milanovac, Gavanovac, Kaluđerovac and Novakovića Brod. The lakes are filled with a crystal blue-green color, they are connected by cascades and waterfalls, and they get their water from numerous rivers and streams. One of the most beautiful waterfalls is the “Milka Trnina waterfall” located between Milanovac and Gavanovac. It was named after the Croatian opera prima donna.
In addition to numerous lakes, visitors can enjoy the beautiful and varied forest vegetation. It is an ideal place for both winter and summer walks. Not far from the park is the deer valley, which leaves no one indifferent.
The Etno garden restaurant is here for visitors to relax with traditional dishes and drinks. The restaurant, equipped with antiques and restaurants, fits perfectly into the very atmosphere of the national park.
