Introduction

Plitvice Lakes National Park is Croatia's most famous natural attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Featuring 16 terraced emerald and turquoise lakes connected by 92 waterfalls and dense karst forest — Europe's most stunning natural landscape. 16 terraced lakes separated by natural travertine dams; water cascades between them forming 92 waterfalls. Veliki Slap (~78 m) is Croatia's tallest. Lake colors shift from emerald to turquoise to deep blue. Well-maintained wooden boardwalks cross the lakes and waterfalls.
