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. Bats are now hibernating in quiet places (like caves) where they hopefully won't be disturbed. They have begun the perid of torpor - a state of physical and mental inactivity that will last through the majority of winter.

Although the balance in nature is greatly disturbed, we are entering the part of the year in which bats will begin to emerge from their shelters. Although their level of activity is still limited, as the temperatures increase, some will start to search for food and water. However, if temperatures suddenly drop, they may go into a state of semi-hibernation.

If possible, hire a professional guide to get a better picture of the importance and the sensitivity of caves.
