Croatia is a country rich in natural resources, navigable rivers abundant with fish, plants and rare animal species, oak forests and hot springs. The beauty of Slavonian breadbasket, the forests of Gorski kotar, the picturesque hills of Hrvatsko zagorje and the sun-drenched Adriatic beaches will surely attract those who value distinctiveness, variety and richness of nature.
There are several categories of protected areas in Croatia: Strict Reserves (2), National Parks (8), Nature Parks (10), Special reserves, Park Forests and others.
