Of the eight national parks, two were proclaimed to protect the karst hydrography and morphology: Plitvice Lakes and Krka National Parks.
Three national parks, Risnjak, Northern Velebit and Paklenica, are typical mountain areas with diverse vegetation and relief. The three remaining
national parks, Brijuni, Kornati and Mljet are islands and marine habitats.
There are 11 nature parks, of which 6 are mountains: Velebit, Biokovo, Medvednica, Papuk, Učka, and Žumberak – Samoborsko Gorje. Telašćica
and the Lastovo Archipelago are two very special island and marine nature parks. Kopački Rit and Lonjsko Polje are representative of the biological
diversity of the lowland floodplains, while Vransko Lake is Croatia’s largest natural lake. Thanks to their values and specificities, a number
of these parks have been enlisted among international important areas. More information is presented below.

16 jezera kristalne modrozelene boje
Ovaj najveći, najstariji i najposjećeniji hrvatski nacionalni park predstavlja šumovit planinski kraj u kojem je nanizano 16 manjih i većih jezera
kristalne modrozelene boje. Jezera dobivaju vodu od brojnih rječica i potoka, a međusobno su spojena kaskadama i slapovima. Sedrene barijere,
koje su nastale u razdoblju od desetak tisuća godina, jedna su od temeljnih osobitosti Parka. Mnogi su istraživači pridonijeli poznavanju i
razvoju Plitvičkih jezera, a od njih se posebno izdvaja Ivo Pevalek (1893. – 1967.), kojemu je podignuta i spomen-ploča nedaleko jezera Galovac.
Zahvaljujući njemu i njegovim istraživanjima, Plitvička jezera dobila su nacionalnu i svjetsku zaštitu.
O razvoju turizma na Plitivičkim Jezerima
1861. osniva se Uprava graničarskih šuma koja na Velikoj Poljani gradi “Putničku kuću”, a narod joj daje ime “Carska kuća”, jer u njoj odsjedaju
carski oficiri. Na današnjem Labudovcu, senjski trgovac Devčić 1890. gradi prvu gostionicu i pilanu, ali ubrzo sve izgori u požaru. Zagrepčanin
Janaček obnavlja prenoćište s gostionicom i naziva ga “Janačekov dom na Labudovcu”, a 1896. godine izgrađen je prvi hotel za 200 gostiju na
Velikoj Poljani.

16 crystal clear blue lakes
This largest, oldest and most visited Croatian national park represents a forested mountain region, containing a series of 16 crystal clear, blue
lakes of varying size. The lakes receive the waters from numerous streams, and are mutually linked together by cascades and waterfalls. The
travertine barriers, that were created over tens of thousands of years, are among the fundamental specificities of the park. Many researchers
have contributed to the knowledge and development of Plitvice Lakes, and the most prominent was Ivo Pevalek (1893 – 1967). A monument
plaque in his honour is found near Galovac Lake. Thanks to his research, Plitvice Lakes are under both national and international protection.
On the development of tourism at Plitvice Lakes
In 1861, the Frontier Forests Directorate was established, and the Traveller’s House built at Velika Poljana. It was quickly nicknamed the ‘Imperial
House’ by the locals, as the imperial officers often stayed here. In 1890, Senj trader Devčić built the first inn and sawmill at present day
Labudovac, but these structures were destroyed in a fire soon afterwards. Janaček from Zagreb rebuilt the inn and named it ‘Janaček House at
Labudovac’. In 1896, the first hotel, with a capacity for 200 guests, was built at Velika Poljana.
