Plitvice Lakes National Park - Croatia

I really wouldn't mind to pack my bags and travel to Croatia to visit the beautiful Plitvice Lakes, one of the places on my must visit list and also on the UNESCO WHS list. 
I got my 1st card from there back in 2008, sent by Gosia and a few weeks ago got another one sent by Celina.

The Plitvice Lakes National Park is renowned for its sixteen beautiful lakes, linked to each other by cascading waterfalls. Founded in 1949 and located in Croatia’s mountainous north, the stunning park has been recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1979. 


Its status as a UNESCO site comes from its unusual geology, which is the result of thousands of years of water flowing over limestone and chalk to create natural travertine dams. As well as creating the park’s famous lakes and waterfalls, this geological process has also formed some impressive caves that make for wonderful photo opportunities amidst the dense forest. - in: https://venezialines.com/blog/plitvice-lakes-unesco-world-heritage-site-croatia/
