The Plitvice Lakes in northern Croatia

I am amazed that these lakes aren’t more famous.  When people think of the most beautiful lakes in the world, you think of the likes of Lake Tahoe, Malawi, Torres del Paine, Atitlan, or Lake Bled and Como far closer in Europe.  But the Plitvice Lakes are right up there for sheer beauty and have the added advantage of hundreds of waterfalls linking them all together.  A must if visiting Croatia.
