Located near the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the mid-section of Croatia, this area is home to the famous and beautiful Plitvice Lakes: a national park with breathtaking mountains, cascading waterfalls and the bright turquoise-green lakes that they pool into.The Plitvice Lakes are situated in the continental region of Lika, half way between Zagreb and Sibenik. The beauty of the virgin nature and the abundance of animal and plant life, were the reasons why the area was designated a national park in 1949 and why UNESCO put Plitvice lakes on its list of world natural heritage in 1979
