PLITVICE LAKES (Plitvička jezera) NATIONAL PARK, CROATIA
Founded in 1949, Plitvice Lakes (Plitvička jezera) National Park is one of the oldest and largest parks in Croatia. The park encompasses over 70,000 acres, including 16 lakes that are separated into an upper group of 12 and lower group of four. The various lakes are connected by numerous spectacular waterfalls. In 1979, the park was designated as a Unesco World Heritage site. We toured the lower lakes in 2017 and returned in October, 2018 at which time we were able to tour both the upper and lower lakes.
