National Parks

Croatia is a small country with a surface size of slightly over 56,000 square kilometers. Croatia is one of Europe's wealthiest countries in terms of biological richness due to its geomorphological, ecological, and climatic circumstances. From rising mountains to the Adriatic Sea, the plains of Slavonia to the rolling hills of Zagorje and Istria, the natural beauty is diversified.

Eight national parks, two natural reserves, and ten nature parks may be found in Croatia. Mljet, Kornati, and Brijuni National Parks are located on the islands and are known for their diverse marine life. The Risnjak, Paklenica, and Northern Velebit rivers run through the country's mountainous regions. Beautiful meadows, limestone boulders, and extensive forests can be found here. Plitvie Lakes National Park, the country's most visited national park, and Krka National Park are both noted for its streams, rapids, lakes, and waterfalls.
