Welcome to a natural wonderland of 16 interconnecting lakes, joined by thundering waterfalls and a huge primeval forest in central Croatia. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth and is considered a geological and hydrological phenomenon! Take time to explore this park and walk along the paths through trees, lakes, waterfalls, vegetation and man-made boardwalks and become one with Mother Nature, because she is at her finest here.
