Plitvice Waterfalls

Plitvice Waterfalls, the crown jewel of Croatia’s oldest national park, dazzle with a series of 16 terraced lakes linked by cascades and travertine barriers. The turquoise waters, enriched by mineral deposits, plunge up to 78 meters amid lush beech forests. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, its boardwalks and electric boats offer immersive views. Seasonal shifts turn falls into icy sculptures or thunderous torrents, while endemic species like the European brown bear roam its pristine wilderness.
