CROATIA 481

Flora

The park flora ranges from waterlilies on the lakes

to forests of gigantic trees. The rich undergrowth

is also a source of food for the park’s wildlife.

Waterfalls

Signposted routes

direct visitors to walk

behind the waterfalls

to watch the rushing

water as it cascades

from above.

View of the Korana River

The lakes drain into the Korana river, one

of Croatia’s cleanest waterways. The long-

winding river flows between steep cliffs amidst

spectacular scenery, and is a popular place for

kayak and raft trips.

Special routes are taken

by the park’s electric

buses to take visitors

around the area.
