Protected Nature Monuments - Enthralling Plitvice Caves

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 fully active now, female bats will soon start to form maternity colonies and look for suitable and safe nursery sites, like caves or trees to have their babies. A bat’s pregnancy lasts between six and nine weeks and during that time, and later during the maternity season, females are very sensitive - so let's be considerate and quiet when near their colonies!

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