Krka and Plitvice Lakes National Parks













The 100 waterfalls and deep gorges are the spectacular attractions at both these cherished National Parks, and within a two-hour drive of each other. In 1970, Plitvice Lakes National Park was added to the Unesco World Heritage list for its outstanding series of tufa lakes, caves and connecting waterfalls. The falls at Krka National Park mark the location of the world's second oldest hydro-electric plant, which began operating in 1895. An interesting fact, Nikola Tesla was born nearby in the town of Smiljan in 1856.
