Brief synopsis
It is one of the three southern European peninsulas and 500,000 square kilometres in size: the Balkan Peninsula. Poetically, it forms the geographical border between the Occident and the Orient. Its name refers to its natural wealth: BALKAN - "MOUNTAINS WITH MANY FORESTS". In fact, the Balkan Peninsula is a treasure trove of ecological diversity. Its hidden wealth: an abundance of national and nature parks - from Slovenia to Greece. From the Alps to the sea.
As in Croatia. Filmmaker Jeremy JP Fekete visits national and nature parks from the coasts of the southern Dalmatian islands of the Adriatic to the Velebit mountain massif: because Croatia's natural beauty is diverse
Mljet. Also known as Odysseus Island. At its tip is the national park of the same name. A forest of Aleppo pines and holm oaks, only 100 years young, covers almost 90% of the island. Risen again like Phoenix from the ashes after the devastating forest fire about 100 years ago. In one of its salt lakes is a tropical coral reef. That of the lawn coral.
It is the most famous national park in Croatia. The Plitvice Lakes owe their name to the natural phenomenon that created the lakes. A waterway about 8 km long, made of 16 smaller lakes strung together like pearls and connected by cascading waterfalls. An important natural process for its incomparable beauty is taken over by mosses and algae, which support the development of its travertine barriers. And thus also preserve old trees for a little eternity.
Its mountain massif Risnjak was declared a national park as early as 1953. This forested mountain massif in Gorski Kotar was named after the lynx ("ris"), its most popular inhabitant. Today, the national park once again serves as a habitat for these shy hunters.
