Explore Live Cams in Croatia

Croatia (Hrvatska) curves around the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, covering about 21,850 square miles (56,594 km²). Its rocky coastline is dotted with more than 1,000 islands and islets, while inland the land climbs into the forested Dinaric mountains and then flattens out into the farmland of the Pannonian plain along the Danube.

Its most famous natural wonder is Plitvice Lakes National Park, where 16 turquoise lakes step down a forested valley, linked by waterfalls and cascades. Nearby, the Krka River tumbles over wide limestone falls, and off the Dalmatian coast the bare, rocky Kornati islands form a national park in the sea. The marten is the national animal.

Brown bears, wolves and lynx roam the mountains of Gorski Kotar and Velebit, and griffon vultures nest on the cliffs of Cres island. Dolphins swim in the clear Adriatic, and the spotted Dalmatian dog takes its name from the country's southern coast. In 1979, Plitvice was one of the first natural sites added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Did You Know? The necktie traces back to Croatian soldiers in the 1600s, whose knotted scarves became a fashion in Paris, where the French named them cravats after the Croats.
