Waterfalls Lakes Plitvice, Croatia (National Park)
Is
among the 20 most beautiful lakes in the world to 17th place. The park
covers an area of 33,000 hectares and includes 16 lakes in succession,
connected by waterfalls.Plitvice is the oldest national park in
Southeast Europa.All'interno the park there are also many caves of which
only a small part is agibile.I lakes are formed by two rivers: the
White River and the Black River, which flow in the river Korana. The
waters of these rivers are rich in calcareous salts (mostly calcium
carbonate and magnesium carbonate), from the dissolution of carbonate
rocks forming the geological structure of sito.Questi salts are
precipitated by vegetation, forming layers of travertine , a sedimentary
rock recently. Over time, these deposits forming real natural dams that
act as barriers to water, growing by about a centimeter per year. At
one point the water pressure breaks these natural levees, opening new
paths in the ground. The beauty of the National Park Plitvice, Croatia, is increased in the second round of the New Seven Wonders of Nature.
