I needed a foot massage after walking all day in Plitvice Lakes National Park. Not sure what are more impressive; the Lakes or the interconnecting waterfalls. The 16 Lakes are dammed by travertine which grows at a rate of 1cm per year by the integration of plants, bacteria, water and air. It took just over 5 hours to walk along the lake-edge paths and boardwalks constructed between the Lakes on top of the travertine dams with water rushing beneath your feet at times. The Karst topography is also home of many caves, sinkhole and underground rivers. Truly fascinating!
