The Plitvice Lakes
The Lika region is a natural source of particularly high quality drinking water. Numerous larger and smaller springs rise from the depths of its subterranean Karst in sublime serenity, or celebrating life in a noisy roar. These carstic springs are the origin of the surface running waters that by their gentleness enrich the landscape of this peculiar mountain region.
Rarely is the action of water so pronounced as in this part of Dinaric Karst, where it shapes the rock bottom surface and underground in a magnificent process of creation and destruction. Plitvice Lakes, the oldest Croatian National Park and nature monument included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, are considered to be absolutely the most shining example of such creative commensalism between rock and water.
During thousands of years water has been breaking, eroding and dissolving the rocks and the riverbeds through which it has been streaming. Depositions of calcium-carbonate from the free-flowing water and mediation of special kinds of algae and moss have created and still create at the sites of natural barriers a soft and porous stone - limestone or travertine.
Limestone sedimentation has created dams, which, in turn, have transformed the valley of the Upper Korana into a series of 16 cascading lakes of crystal blue-green colour.
The lakes receive their water from many small rivers and mountain streams, and are interlinked by foamy cascades and noisy waterfalls. The key feature of the entire lakes and waterfalls system is the magnificent dynamics of the constant growth and transformation of all its elements under the influence of biodynamic phenomena.
Plitvice Lakes impress the visitors at first sight by the profusion and plenitude of water, however, there is much more to admire: the rich and varied flora and fauna, luxurious palette of colours at the turn of seasons, fresh mountain air, pristine woods and ample, crystal clear green and, above all, drinkable water, as well as the silent and sublime energy of nature.
In the Plitvice Lakes National Park water and rock have been playing for centuries now. Would you like to know who is the winner of the game? Come with us and find out.
