Four years ago, I went to Plitvice Lakes in the winter and took pictures of the lovely, frozen world with icy waterfalls and white landscapes. Recently, I went back to the lakes to take pictures of the same beautiful park, but this time it was surrounded by the vibrant colors of October. On the first day, we explored the top lakes in the park, and on the second day, we explored the lower ones.
Any time of year is a good time to visit this location because of the stunning scenery that nature has to offer. Check out some of my trip-related pictures below.
The lakes' surface area is 0.77 square miles, whereas the overall size of the National Park is 113.9 square miles. The Kapela Mountains contain sixteen lakes that are arranged in a north-south orientation and spread out like a garland. The southern limestone portions of the mountain, which are strongly marked by karst processes, have a deep valley that was carved out by Korana Creek over millions of years.
These changes also contributed to the creation of the Plitvice Lakes. In the karst rivers and streams, the limestone forges dykes, sills, and other architectural features (contrary to typical hot water formations, limestone tufa precipitates out of cold water here). This karst phenomenon gives the lakes their strikingly blue hue. A variety of waterfalls are continuously created by the limestone creation process. As the water's bed shifts over time, it dries out the prior direction and raises new formations in other places. We may claim that Plitvice has changed significantly.
