Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest and largest national park of the Republic of Croatia. With its exceptional natural beauty, this area has always attracted nature lovers, so it was declared the first national park in Croatia on April 8, 1949. The process of sedimentation, which forms travertine barriers and creates lakes, represents a unique universal value for which the Plitvice Lakes received international recognition on October 26, 1979, by being included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The park covers an area of slightly less than 300 km2 and is mostly covered by forest vegetation (81%), a smaller part is covered by grasslands (15%) and areas changed by anthropogenic activity (3%), and water bodies occupy only slightly less than 1% of the Park’s surface. Visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse in the breathtaking beauty of its travertine lakes, cascading waterfalls, and lush forest landscapes.
