Lika-Karlovac

Lika is a traditional region of Croatia, bounded by the Velebit mountain to the southwest and the Plješevica mountain to the northeast. Most of its towns stand in the karst poljes of its rivers.

The Plitvice Lakes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lie here, with their cascades of tufa lakes. The region also has reservoirs built for hydropower, such as Kruščica, Štikada and Lešće.
