Plitvice Caves - Protected Nature Monuments
Plitvice Lakes National Park boasts with 114 speleological objects, and some of them are so valuable that they have been additionally protected as nature monuments. One unusually important group of bioindicators finds refuge in these objects - bats. These night fliers play crucial roles in forest regeneration process; they pollinate numerous plants and disperse seeds, as well as control insect populations as the primary predators of night-flying insects.
Take advantage of the peaceful part of the year and explore the impressive underworld in silence, without crowds and human noise.
Although the balance in nature is greatly disturbed, we are in the part of the year in which bats are usually fully active and feeding. Females will soon start to form maternity colonies and look for suitable nursery sites, like caves or trees for example.
If possible, hire a professional guide to get a better picture of the importance and the sensitivity of caves.
