Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of the oldest national parks in Southeast Europe and the largest national park in Croatia.
The national park is world-famous for its lakes arranged in cascades, and 16 lakes can be seen from the surface. The national park was founded in and is situated in the mountainous karst area of central Croatia. The protected area extends over The lakes are separated into an upper and lower cluster formed by runoff from the mountains, descending from an altitude of to m 2, to 1, ft over a distance of some eight km, aligned in a south-north direction.
The lakes collectively cover an area of about two square kilometres 0. This name was designated due to natural phenomena that have created the lakes. For centuries, water has changed the limestone and thus the landscape of this area.
The overall water body area of the national park is about 2 km2 0. These lakes are also the deepest, with a depth of 37 and 47 metres and ft respectively. On Lake Kozjak, low-noise and ecologically-friendly electric boats are being used. None of the other lakes in the park exceeds 25 metres 82 feet in depth.
The altitude drop from the first lake to the last is metres feet. The 16 lakes that can be seen from the surface are grouped into the 12 Upper Lakes Gornja jezera and the four Lower Lakes Donja jezera. The Plitvice Lakes national park is heavily forested, mainly with beech, spruce, and fir trees, and features a mixture of Alpine and Mediterranean vegetation.
It has a notably wide variety of plant communities, due to its range of microclimates, differing soils and varying levels of altitude. Scientists have so far listed 1, different plants out of species that can be found within the area of the national park.
For reasons of the poor industrial development of this region and early introduced protection measures, a nearly untouched landscape has been preserved. In the partially primeval beech and fir forests various rare species, such as the brown bear have survived. At the Plitvice Lakes, all species continue to exist that have already existed before the coming of man. This is a rare case worldwide.
