Sažetak
Plitvice Lakes are situated at 44°51’N 15°37’E in central Croatia in the eastern part of the mountainous region of Lika-Senj County, between the high forrested mountains of Kapela and Plješivica. A series of sixteen beautiful lakes of a crystal blue-green colour is fed by many small streams and brooks descending from the mountains. The lakes extend over a distance of some eight km, aligned in a south-north direction (Fig 24). The whole area was proclaimed a National Park in 1949 and as such was included into the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1979. The National Park, ranging in altitude from 1279 m to 367 m a.s.l., has an area of 298 km2, of which 223 km2 are forests (74.8%), 69.6 km2 are meadows (23.3%) and about 2 km2 (0.72%) are water areas (lakes) (Fig 25)(http://en.np-plitvicka-jezera.hr/ ). Geology and climate of the region are described, as well as tufa and lake sediment formation and geochronology of the lakes.
