A NATURAL FAIRYTALE IN THE HEART OF #LOVECROATIA The fact that they have been inscribed on the #UNESCO World Heritage List and that they are the most famous natural park in Croatia is not the only specific feature of Plitvice Lakes. They are distinct because they represent a specific geological and hydro-geological karst phenomenon. The basic feature of #Plitvice is the appearance of calcareous tufa created by water saturated with calcium carbonate which is sprayed onto moss containing millions of algae and bacteria which secrete mucilage. The calcite crystals cling to it and transform it into “living” rock. The continuous and uninterrupted creation of phytogenous calcareous tufa at Plitvice Lakes is a natural and basic phenomenon of the national park, and is the very essence of its sustainability.
