Bustling life at the Plitvice travertine waterfalls

by Mira Tammelin, University of Turku, Turku, Finland

The extremely beautiful Plitvice Lakes National Park is located within the mountainous karst area in Central Croatia. It consists of small lakes that are sourrounded by a lush green forest. The lakes are connected to eachother via travertine dams and waterfalls. The water is crystal clear and bustling with life.
