Plitvice Lakes, Croatia [Unique Natural Landscape In The World]

Located about halfway between the Croatian capital Zagreb and Zadar on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, Plitvice Lakes are a magical world of living, moving water surrounded by ancient forests, 16 lakes linked by waterfalls, bridges natural and man-made, and 300 square kilometers of wild beauty full of bears, wolves, boars, and birds. https://i.ibb.co/LpwC07w/16761087566-67b8d5617a-k.jpg (right click on image and click on "view image" to see full size image) Photography by : Federica Gentile Plitvice Lakes National Park is world famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. Currently, 16 lakes can be seen from the surface. These lakes are a result of the confluence of several small rivers and subterranean karst rivers. The lakes are all interconnected and follow the water flow. They are separated by natural dams of travertine, which is deposited by the action of moss, algae, and bacteria. The particularly sensitive travertine barriers are the result of an interplay between water, air and plants. The encrusted plants and bacteria accumulate on top of each other, forming travertine barriers which grow at the rate of about 1 cm per year. https://i.ibb.co/THMsp1f/6089454337-cc1fba93e3-o.jpg (right click on image and click on "view image" to see full size image) Photography By : - peperoni - Upvote - Follow
