Description
Properties inscribed on the World Heritage List - Croatia - Plitvice Lakes National Park 1979
In the mountains of Croatia, a kind of alchemy is forging a magical landscape where water literally turns to stone.THE FALLING LAKES gives viewers a first-hand look at this remarkable process, which has helped make Croatia's Plitvice Lakes National Park one of southeastern Europe's natural wonders.
The park's crown jewels are a necklace of 16 lakes connected by gushing springs, sparkling rivers, and soaring waterfalls. The water streams over porous limestone that underlies the region. But the landscape is far from rock solid. It is constantly changing its shape, as erosion and an unusual chemical process continually form new dams and riverbeds that steer the water in new directions.
