Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest national park in Southeast
Europe and the largest national park in Croatia.
The
national park was founded in 1949 and is situated in the mountainous karst area
of central Croatia, at the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The important
north-south road connection, which passes through the national park area,
connects the Croatian inland with the Adriatic coastal region. The protected
area extends over 296.85 square kilometres.
In 1979, Plitvice Lakes National Park was
added to the UNESCO World Heritage register among the first natural sites
worldwide.
