The fairyland setting of the Plitvice Lakes is one of the Europe's great natural wonders. The vivid, constantly shifting landscape of the Plitvice National Park continues to amaze visitors with its exotic, lush and misty beauty. The park's 16 crystal clear, terraced lakes are interconnected by a series of waterfalls and cascades, each of a different, jewel-like color. The water of the majestic lakes is both clear and full of vibrant blue-green color. The climate of the area and the high oxygen content of the turbulent water favor the proliferation of green mosses throughout the park and the delicate mist highlights the lush, dense forests and the soaring rock formations. The flowering meadows of Plitvice Lakes National Park are intersected by the deep, green gorge of the Korana River.
