The stunning Plitvice Lakes National Park lies in the Lika region of Croatia. The park is surrounded by the mountains Plješevica, Mala Kapela, and Medveđak, which are part of the Dinaric Alps. The 16 blue-green Plitvice Lakes, which are separated by natural dams of travertine, are situated on the Plitvice plateau. Waterfalls connect the lakes, and the tallest waterfall is Veliki Slap at 70 meters (230 feet) tall. The Plitvice lakes area boasts a large variety of interesting and colorful flora and fauna. Visitors can enjoy walking and hiking the many pathways and trails, or exploring the lakes by boat. The park itself has 3 hotels and a campsite, otherwise visitors can find accommodation at any of the number of villages and cities nearby.

  31. Yeah…sigh.

  32. When Babur the Moghul King 1st time, entered India about(over)300 years back, after crossing the parched/barren lands of Afghanistan he was VISIBLY enthralled to witness the beauty of India.

    ‘Gar Jannat ber Rooh-i-Zameen ast, azeen ast, azeen ast, azeen ast.Thus he exclaimed in Persian (the language of the day) thereby meaning “If there is any Paradise on Earth, then it, IS THIS, IS THIS, & IS THIS !!!!

  33. Great pictures but the place is so crowded with tourists that I would just stick to the pictures.

  34. Image and Picture Hosting

  40. amazing pictures. must be a great place for honeymooners.

  41. ..been there (in Plitvice) a few years ago and had a great time..if you value and “feel” nature a lot..you’d think you were in heaven..it’s one of a kind..and whatever I say here would not describe the beauties there enough.. The lakes are amazing, the waterfalls, the color of the water itself, the forrest..it’s simply amazing.. you just have to see it with your own two eyes..live Offcourse while you’re there there are a ton of great similar places to visit..but non other compares to this one..
