In central Croatia, a network of 16 beautiful terraced lakes, all linked by streams, rivers, and waterfalls, makes up Plitvice Lakes (video).
The lakes are all on different levels, and the visual effect of them pouring into one another from their watery terraced steps is truly breathtaking.
Visitors will enjoy hiking through Plitvice Lakes National Park, and sights like the Veliki Slap, a waterfall that is over 250 feet tall and connects the 12 upper lakes to the four lower ones, is picture-perfect.
Tours, boat rides, and walkways are all available for visitors who would like to explore this natural wonder.
