The video I included in this post shows a glimpse on what you can expect while at Plitvice lakes. The Lakes have over seven kilometers of pathways and trails, and this video shows the heart of the lakes, perhaps its most attractive spots. The National Park consists of sixteen lakes, all of which are interconnected with many waterfalls and cascades. The water is brought to the lakes by Black and White river, and by the nearby streams and brooks. At the lake you will be able to enjoy beautiful and pristine nature, which is kept in its untouched condition since the National park was formed in 1949. You will also have opportunity to see different birds and insects, and if you are lucky, even some larger animal. But don’t be afraid – the largest occupants of the Plitvice lakes never actually come down to the heart of the Lakes when people are there.
Many people marvel at the intense colors of the water, and how clean and clear it is. The color is sometime turquoise green, and at another time azul blue, which primarily depends on the organisms in the water, as well as the angle and intensity of the sun. It is so clean that it is even possible to drink from it, although I would personally not do it 🙂 Nevertheless, this whole park is about water and nature, and the ions that are generated from the waterfalls will surely put you in a very positive mood. If you take a walking tour through the Plitvice Lakes, you will hear stories and legends about this beautiful park, as well as how nature worked its way to form the Lakes as they are today.
