Plitvice Lakes National Park

Plitvice Lakes National Park consists of 16 lakes. Plitvice Lakes are located in the region Lika, between mountains Mala Kapela and Pljesivica, covering an area of 300 km². Plitvice Lakes are divided in two groups, the upper lakes and the lower lakes, spread over a total distance of 8 km.

The highest lake is Proscansko at 639 m and the lowest Novakovica Brod at 503 m (the altitude of the national park varies between 400 and 1280 m). The upper lakes are surrounded with deep forest and interconnected by a series of waterfalls (the biggest waterfall being Plitvice, 78 m high). The climate of Plitvice Lakes is alpine, but nevertheless the water temperature in Lakes Prošcansko and Kozjak (46 m deep) can reach 24°C in summer. In December and January the lakes are frozen. Various creeks flow into the lakes and river Korana flows out of Plitvice Lakes. Lakes and creeks are rich with fish and crabs. Plitvice Lakes are populated by bears, wolves, deer and rare bird species. There are numerous trails on which to walk and hike.
