The beauty of 16 lakes was also recognized by UNESCO in 1979. which included it on the list of natural beauties under their protection. Azure lakes, small connecting rivers and countless waterfalls form an amazing natural phenomenon whose colors are admired all over the world.

The lakes are divided into two parts, the Upper and Lower Lakes. What makes the lakes special and stand out among many similar lake localities are the beautiful travertine barriers and the wide range of vibrant blue colors that are constantly changing depending on the sunlight. A species of algae that blooms in the waters of Plitvice releases gases as it grows and decomposes, and when these gases react with water, it is displayed as a stunning azure hue. In winter, the lakes turn into a beautiful icy fairytale that takes your breath away.

There are 7 routes to see this natural phenomenon, and whichever you choose you will not go wrong. The difference is between the starting and ending points and the duration.
