Lokrum, Croatia.

Lokrum  is an island in the Adriatic Sea 600 metres (1,969 feet) from the city of Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Over time, these deposits forming real natural dams that act as barriers to water, growing by about a centimeter per year. At one point the water pressure breaks these natural levees, opening new paths in the ground. This mechanism, in fact common to all the calcareous water, in Plitvice has assumed a particular importance.The beauty of the National Park Plitvice, Croatia, is increased in the second round of the New Seven Wonders of Nature.
