Plitvice Lakes National Park Trivia Questions

Swimming is strictly prohibited in all lakes to protect the fragile travertine formations and ecosystem. Only designated areas outside the park allow swimming.

Water color shifts from azure to green to gray due to varying concentrations of calcium carbonate and the angle of sunlight hitting the water.
