瀑布变“冰瀑” Waterfalls turned waterfreeze

十六湖国家公园，克罗地亚

想不想一次性游览16个湖泊？克罗地亚的十六湖国家公园是该国最大、最古老的湖泊之一，其独特的地质特征为你提供了一个机会。马拉卡佩拉、梅德韦克和普列谢维察山脉的山坡将水引入普利特维采岛高原。这些水携带着沉淀的石灰岩，随着时间的推移，石灰岩逐渐积聚和硬化，形成了一系列被称为凝灰岩的岩石屏障。这些屏障形成水潭，细长的花边瀑布从一个“湖”通往另一个“湖”。这种雄伟的地质和水文景观也是联合国教科文组织认定的的世界遗产，它们吸引了超过一百万的游客前来参观蜿蜒于湖中的小径和木板路。即使在冬季，湖泊仍然美貌依旧，曾经咆哮的瀑布被冰封在原地形成绝美冰瀑。

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

Why visit one lake when you can visit 16? Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia serves up stunning terraced lakes connected to one another by more than 90 cascades and waterfalls, thanks to the unique geology of the area.

The surrounding mountains funnel water carrying calcium carbonate into the park. This accumulates and hardens over time into a type of limestone called tufa, which creates a series of barriers. These natural dams form pools, with thin, lacy waterfalls leading from one 'lake' to another. This majestic display draws more than a million visitors a year to the paths and boardwalks that wind through the lakes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even in winter, the lakes retain their beauty, with once-roaring waterfalls frozen in place.

小心龙出没！ Watch out for dragons!

杜布罗夫尼克，克罗地亚

来到克罗地亚的杜布罗夫尼克，你可能会本能地警惕入侵的舰队或空中的巨龙，不过放心，你更有可能遇到的是游客，而不是兰尼斯特家族。美剧《权力的游戏》经常在这里取景拍摄，因为杜布罗夫尼克老城是世界上保存最完好的中世纪城市之一。历史上，杜布罗夫尼克曾以“拉古萨共和国”的身份蓬勃发展了数百年，通过灵活的外交和强大的航海贸易保持独立。这颗“亚得里亚海的明珠”也经历过炮火和大地震，但重建后的城市依然充满生机。古城墙、教堂、博物馆和艺术等文化遗产都是吸引游客前往杜布罗夫尼克的原因，最近的一份报告显示，2019年，杜布罗夫尼克平均每位居民接待了36名游客。

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Though you might instinctively watch out for invading fleets or dragons overhead, you're more likely to encounter a tourist than a Lannister in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik. As you may know, 'Game of Thrones' filmed here frequently throughout the run of the show, and you can scarcely blame them; Dubrovnik's Old Town is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the world. For centuries it flourished as the Republic of Ragusa, maintaining independence through diplomacy and robust trade networks. This 'Pearl of the Adriatic' has withstood military bombardments and devastating earthquakes, yet the city has always rebuilt and persevered. While pop culture, history, and UNESCO World Heritage Site status are all big draws, they might be too effective: A recent report estimated that in 2019 there were 36 tourists for every resident.

亚得里亚海边的明珠 Jewel of the Adriatic

克罗地亚罗维尼老城

美丽、历史悠久的罗维尼像一只脚趾在试水一样浸入亚得里亚海。200英尺高的圣尤菲亚教堂钟楼俯瞰着罗文杰的历史中心。这座教堂建于18世纪初，覆盖着古老的基督教圣建筑的遗迹，每天晚上都会作为灯塔欢迎镇上的渔船回家。

罗维尼岛有2000多年的历史，它曾经是一个岛屿，直到1763年这条狭窄的海峡被填平后才与大陆相连。今天，这座城市的经济来源于旅游业，浪漫的鹅卵石街道是众多酒吧、餐馆和博物馆的所在地。它被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，是伊斯特拉最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一。

Old Town of Rovinj, Croatia

Beautiful, historic Rovinj dips into the Adriatic like a toe testing the water. The 200-foot-tall bell tower of the Church of St. Euphemia overlooks Rovinj's historic center. The church, which was built in the early 1700s over the remains of older Christian holy structures, acts as a beacon that welcomes home the town's fleet of fishing boats each evening.

More than 2,000 years old, Rovinj was once an island—it wasn't connected to the mainland until 1763, when the narrow channel was filled in. Today the city's economy comes from tourism, and the romantic cobblestone streets are home to numerous bars, restaurants, and museums. It's on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Istria.

既有风，又有水 Add wind, combine with water, and you'll get...

Kitesurfing and windsurfing in Croatia

Of the many ways people have invented to ride boards of one kind or another, the sport of kiteboarding or kitesurfing is one of the newest. It owes a debt to all the board sports that came before it, borrowing a little bit from snowboarding, water skiing, wakeboarding, and of course windsurfing. Like snowboarders and skiers, windsurfers and kitesurfers often share playspace, as they are doing here off the Peljesac Peninsula in Croatia, where you can count on a stiff afternoon breeze in the summer months when the land heats up and draws in the cool ocean air of the Adriatic.

Kiteboarding began to evolve in the 1990s. By separating the sail—in this case the kite, which is similar to a glider—from the board, kitesurfers gained more freedom to maneuver. The kites are inflated, giving them structure and the ability to float should they land on the water. Kiteboards meant to surf waves are pointed at one end; boards meant to ride over flat water are shaped the same at both ends.

克罗地亚的风筝冲浪和帆板运动

在人们发明的各种冲浪方式中，风筝冲浪运动是最新的一种。它欠了之前所有的滑板运动的债，从滑雪板、滑水、滑水板，当然还有帆板运动中借了一点。像滑雪板运动员和滑雪者一样，风帆冲浪者和风筝冲浪者经常共享游戏空间，就像他们在克罗地亚的Peljesac半岛附近所做的那样，在夏季，当陆地升温并吸入亚得里亚海凉爽的海洋空气时，你可以指望那里会有一股强劲的下午风。

风筝冲浪在20世纪90年代开始发展。通过将帆（在这种情况下是风筝，类似于滑翔机）从板上分离，风筝冲浪者获得了更多的机动自由。风筝是充气的，这样它们就有了结构，并能在降落到水面上时漂浮。用来冲浪的风筝板一端是尖的；用于在平坦水面上行驶的木板两端形状相同。

适合每个人的岛屿公园 An island park for everyone

European Day of Parks

Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, diving, or sailing? How about soaking in a spectacular natural setting? Croatia's Kornati National Park checks all the boxes. The 84-square-mile park protects 89 islands, islets, and reefs off Croatia's scenic Adriatic Coast.

Today is the European Day of Parks, and we're joining others in taking time to appreciate and support protected natural areas throughout the continent. Kornati, one of Croatia's nine national parks, takes that mission seriously year-round. You can visit Kornati on a day trip from Zadar, an ancient seaside city with a Roman forum and other historic sites. And since 2005, Zadar has had the world's first sea organ, which plays music by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps. Many tour boat options offer quick access to the park, some that ply you with local food to enjoy en route. But we suspect you'll want to spend more than a day exploring the island wonders of Kornati National Park. It's an ecotourist's dream.

欧洲公园日

喜欢游泳、浮潜、潜水或帆船运动吗？在壮观的自然环境中泡个澡怎么样？克罗地亚的科尔纳蒂国家公园检查了所有的盒子。这个84平方英里的公园保护着克罗地亚风景秀丽的亚得里亚海沿岸的89个岛屿、小岛和暗礁。

今天是欧洲公园日，我们和其他人一起花时间欣赏和支持整个欧洲大陆的自然保护区。科尔纳蒂是克罗地亚九个国家公园之一，全年都认真对待这一使命。你可以从扎达尔（Zadar）一日游到科尔纳蒂，这是一座古老的海滨城市，有罗马论坛和其他历史遗迹。自2005年以来，扎达尔拥有世界上第一个海洋风琴，它通过位于一组大型大理石台阶下的海浪和管子来演奏音乐。许多游船选项都可以快速进入公园，有些还可以在途中为您提供当地美食。但我们怀疑你会想花一天以上的时间探索科纳提国家公园的岛屿奇观。这是生态旅游者的梦想。

Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia

In a country more famous for its coastline, about a million visitors each year venture inland to amble along these boardwalks and marvel at spectacular lakes and mountains. Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest and largest of Croatia's national parks. The big attraction is the series of 16 descending, turquoise-colored lakes, connected by subterranean karst rivers, and above ground by streams and waterfalls. The lakes are separated by natural dams of travertine, which is deposited by moss, algae, and bacteria. The water changes color from green to azure to gray depending on the angle of the light and the density of minerals and organisms in the water. About 11 miles of wooden boardwalk make it easy for people to wander among the lakes, falls, and caves that are open to visitors year-round.

The 115-square-mile park was established in 1949 in what is now central Croatia, near the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1979, Plitvice's unique beauty put it on the list UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The lakes seem to magically disappear into the moss-covered earth, and then reappear downstream, proof enough that these woods are indeed enchanted.

克罗地亚的普利特维兹湖国家公园

在一个以海岸线闻名的国家，每年大约有100万游客冒险到内陆，沿着这些木板路漫步，欣赏壮观的湖泊和山脉。普利特维兹湖国家公园是克罗地亚最古老、最大的国家公园。最大的吸引力是16个下降的绿松石色湖泊，由地下喀斯特河流连接，地面上由溪流和瀑布连接。湖泊之间由苔藓、藻类和细菌沉积的钙华天然坝隔开。根据光线的角度以及水中矿物质和生物体的密度，水的颜色会从绿色变为蓝色再变为灰色。大约11英里长的木板路使人们可以轻松地在全年开放的湖泊、瀑布和洞穴中漫步。

这座115平方英里的公园建于1949年，位于现在的克罗地亚中部，靠近波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那边境。1979年，普利特维奇独特的美景将其列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。这些湖泊似乎神奇地消失在苔藓覆盖的土地上，然后再次出现在下游，这足以证明这些森林确实被施了魔法。

This 'fingerprint' is one of a kind

Of the 1,246 islands on Croatia's fragmented coast, the unique isle of Bavljenac might be the most identifiable. It's nicknamed 'Fingerprint Island' for its miles of dry-stone walls that look like the whorled ridges of a human fingerprint. The tiny, uninhabited landmass in the Adriatic Sea was once an agricultural center. In the 19th century—the heyday of Croatian wine production— farmers from the nearest populated island built the winding walls on Bavljenac to protect olive trees and grapevines from the winds blowing in from the Adriatic.

这种“指纹”是独一无二的

在克罗地亚支离破碎海岸上的1246个岛屿中，独一无二的巴夫勒耶纳克岛可能是最容易辨认的。它的绰号是“指纹岛”，因为它有几英里长的干石墙，看起来像是人类指纹的螺纹纹路。亚得里亚海中无人居住的小块陆地曾经是一个农业中心。19世纪是克罗地亚葡萄酒生产的全盛时期，来自最近人口稠密岛屿的农民在巴夫勒耶纳克修建了蜿蜒的城墙，以保护橄榄树和葡萄藤免受亚得里亚海吹来的风的影响。

Wanderin' Wawayanda

Preserving more than 35,000 acres of prime New Jersey highland wilderness, Wawayanda State Park brushes up against the state's border with New York. The park's name come from a transliteration of the Lenape Indigenous people's word for the area, said to mean 'winding water' or 'water on the mountain.' A lake and a mountain within the park are also called Wawayanda—perhaps because it's so fun to say?

In addition to the various rivers and creeks here, the park is home to 11 miles of trails, many of them covered with wooden planks. The trail in this photo is an out-and-back hike that takes visitors up to a lookout point on Wawayanda Mountain, where stunning views inspired the trail's name: Stairway to Heaven. (And now you have the Led Zeppelin song stuck in your head. You're welcome?)

漫步瓦瓦扬达

Wawayanda州立公园保护着超过35000英亩的新泽西高地荒野，与纽约州接壤。公园的名字来源于Lenape土著人对该地区的音译，据说意思是“蜿蜒的水”或“山上的水”。公园内的一个湖和一座山也被称为Wawayanda，也许是因为说起来很有趣吧？

除了这里的各种河流和小溪外，公园还有11英里长的小径，其中许多都覆盖着木板。这张照片中的小道是一次来回的徒步旅行，游客可以到达瓦瓦扬达山上的了望点，那里的美景激发了小道的名字：通往天堂的阶梯(现在，你的脑海中萦绕着齐柏林飞艇乐队的歌曲。不客气？）

A hidden jewel in Croatia

Today we're walking out into the winter wonderland of Plitvice Lakes National Park, the oldest and largest national park in Croatia. More than a million tourists per year flock to this central mountainous region, renowned for its cascading waterfalls and 16 turquoise-colored lakes. These wooden pathways meander for miles around and above the lakes, beside waterfalls and over streams and rivers, which disappear into the moss-covered earth only to burst through again somewhere downstream. In fact, the lakes are all interconnected by underground flows and are separated from each other by natural dams of travertine.

The park is open year-round, and winter is its slowest season. If you're brave enough to venture down the park's slippery pathways in December or January, you may be rewarded with views straight out of a fairy tale.

克罗地亚的一颗隐藏的宝石

今天，我们要走进十六湖国家公园（Plitvice Lakes National Park）的冬季仙境，该公园是克罗地亚最古老，最大的国家公园。每年有超过一百万的游客涌向这个中央山区，该山区以级联的瀑布和16个蓝绿色的湖泊而闻名。这些木制小径在湖泊周围和上方蜿蜒数英里，在瀑布旁边，在溪流和河流上消失，消失在苔藓覆盖的泥土中，仅在下游某处再次突然出现。实际上，所有湖泊都通过地下水流相互连接，并通过天然的堤坝隔开。

公园全年开放，冬季是最慢长的季节。如果您有足够的勇气在12月或1月冒险走下公园的湿滑小径，您可能欣赏到的是童话故事般的风景。

At the foot of 'Dubrovnik's Gibraltar'

The stairs in today's photo lead to Fort Lovrijenac, an 11th century fortress jutting out into the Adriatic Sea just outside the walled city of Dubrovnik. 'Game of Thrones' fans will recognize these doors as an entrance to dwellings in the fictional city of King's Landing. Legend claims that when the fort was built on this rocky coastal outpost in the early 11th century, it took just three months to construct. The locals, of what was then Ragusa, knew they had limited time before their rivals, the Venetians, would arrive to build their own outpost and rule over them. According to 'The Chronicles of Ragusa,' the plan worked–the fort was completed just as the surprised Venetians arrived in ships heavy with supplies.

As the centuries marched on, Fort Lovrijenac was reinforced and added to until an earthquake in 1667 nearly destroyed it together with the rest of the town. What would eventually become Dubrovnik was rebuilt, as was the fort, complete with an inscription above the gate that translates to 'Freedom is not to be sold for all the treasure in the world.' Today the walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, safeguarding much of the city's Baroque architecture as well as one of the oldest arboretums in the world.
