CROATIA - Plitvice National Park in Autumn

A mailbox full of joy today!.  The first card is from Anja, such a spectacular view! She writes that the national park is the biggest and the most magnificent in Croatia with 16 lakes connected or separated with travertine barriers.

The card look so alive, I hope I could visit the park someday. Thank you Anja!


"Plitvice Lakes National Park (Croatian: Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera, colloquial Plitvice, pronounced [plîtʋitse]) is one of the oldest national parks in Southeast Europe and the largest national park in Croatia.

The national park was founded in 1949 and is situated in the mountainous karst area of central Croatia, at the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The important north-south road connection, which passes through the national park area, connects the Croatian inland with the Adriatic coastal region."


The stamps was issued on 7 Nov 2012 in a set of 2 featuring Museum of the Krapina  Neanderthal Man (C).
