The Plitvice Waterfalls are defenetly the most memorable part
of plitvicka jezera park. Just imagine a large
network of karstic lakes and waterfalls. In fact, these waterfalls were apparently
tourist attractions even since the last 19th century.
National Park Plitvice Lakes
can be divided into
The Plitvice Waterfalls in the Lower Lakes are bigger and more
"organized". The terrain here is more of a rugged gorge as the gorge walls
close in the waterfall and lakes network. The network network begins by draining the
large Jezero Kozjak in its uppermost waterfall called Milanovački Slapovi,
and this waterfall spills into the next lake called Milanovac Jezero.
The Milanovac Jezero then drains over the next waterfall called Slap Milke Trnine.
This waterfall is also wide, but is quite tiny in height and tends to hide amongst
the thick foliage growing within the waterway. Next, the Gavanovac Jezero
drains over a pair of attractive sections known as the Velike Kaskade.
Here, the boardwalk skirts alongside the smaller upper tier before going
down steps alongside the much larger lower tier
The waters of Plitvice Lakes, flowing across limestone and chalk have, over thousands of years, deposited natural dams of travertine which have created a series of beautiful lakes, caves, cascades and Plitvicka Waterfalls.
