We had a beautiful
view of the coast on our drive to the Plitvice Lakes National Park. Sadly I wasn’t seated on the coach where I could take any decent
pictures.
Plitvice Lakes is
the oldest and largest national park in the Republic of Croatia. The park is situated in the mountainous region
of Croatia, between the Mala Kapela mountain range in the west and northwest
and the Lička Plješivica mountain range to the southeast.
The Plitvice Lakes were internationally recognised
on 26 October 1979 with their inclusion onto the UNESCO World Heritage List. In 1997, the boundaries of the national park
were expanded and today it covers an area just under 300 km2.
It was lovely walking through the woods
taking pictures of the park. A sample of
my pictures follows:
This was a strenuous trip taking 11½ hours. Most of us were exhausted when we returned to
the hotel.
