Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

Plitvice Lakes National Park was founded in 1949 and sits on the eastern side of Croatia, near the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina. To get there we rented a car from Zadar, and the drive was beautiful.

It was interesting that the terrain changed dramatically. Closer to Zadar and the coast, the terrain was rockier and dryer. Then we passed through a series of tunnels near Paklenica National Park and the terrain became lush and wet immediately.

Politics is known for its series of tiered lakes and cascading waterfalls between them. The water of the park can change between azure to green, grey and blue. The water colour changes based on the quantity of minerals on the water or organisms in the water and anal the angle in which you're viewing the water.Read more
