Natural heritage

Here I will present only a few of many Croatian national parks and parks of nature, in short. In the following articles I will be writing about each of them.

Vransko lake
Vransko lake is a lake and cryptodepression in Ravni Kotari, NE of Pakostane, near Zadar; the area spreads across 30.1 sq km (13.6 km long and up to 2.2 km wide, with depth up to 3.9 m).

Velebit
Almost 2,000 km2 long, the Velebit Nature Park is the largest protected area of Croatia, larger than all other protected areas taken together.

Plitvice lakes
Plitvice Lakes were declared a National Park in 1949, and is regarded as one of the most beautiful natural sites in Europe.
