National parks - Plitvička jezera

Visit Croatia, a European country surrounded by hundreds of islands of the Adriatic sea – an ideal destination for yachtsmen. You can expect to find the Mediterranean as it once was: untouched nature, secluded bays, smooth cliffs and pebbled beaches leading to the crystal blue sea …

















The Plitvice lakes - the most beautiful and the most popular Croatian national park, part of the UNESCO's World Heritage.
16 little lakes interconnected with waterfalls created by deposition of travertine, dense forests of beech and fir, partly in the form of primeval virgin forest.
The natural attributes of the Plitvice Lakes National Park, uniqueness and sensibiliry of that phenomenon, deserve a full attention of our visitors. Recreational aspect of stay and the amazement with beauty of the area that conquers by its natural diversity and harmony of shapes and colours in any of the seasons, is based on many mutually conditioned natural characteristics.

That is a specific geological and hydrogeological phenomenon of karst. The series of 16 bigger and a few smaller lakes, gradually lined up, separated by travertine barriers for which the period of the last ten thousand years was crucial, and which were ruled by ecological relations similar to those of today - suitable for travertine depositing and for the origin of the lakes - are the basic phenomenon of the National Park.
Travertine forming plants, algae and mosses have been and still are playing an important role in their creation, thus making a very sensitive biodynamic system.
