Maps of Croatia
This is a map of the human features it shows the different ethnicities that are present in Croatia. Croatians lead with a little more than 90% of the population being Croatian; Serbs follow, then Czechs, and finally Hungarians. There are other ethnicities as well, like Muslims, Albanians, Italians, or Macedonians but very few as compared to these 4 ethnicities. ("Croatian Ethnicities," Croatian Ethnicities)

This map gives the viewer a better idea of the physical features of Croatia. It shows the different areas and the height that they are; this map shows that the East side of Croatia is at Sea level and that as you go West the altitude increases until the land meets the sea and it goes back down to sea level.

Croatian National Parks
This is another physical map showing the different national parks and nature parks in Croatia. Most of the land in Croatia is natural forest. I am going to focus on one national park in particular, the Plitvice National Park. ("National Parks of," National Parks of Croatia)
Plitvice National Park
Plitvice national park is a major tourist attraction in Croatia. I wasn't even aware of this beautiful place until I started to research Croatia, it is an amazing surprise. This was the first National Park in Europe and is the largest in the country of Croatia. This national park was founded in 1949 and is situated in the mountainous karst area of central Croatia, at the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The important north-south road connection, which passes through the national park area, connects the Croatian inland with the Adriatic coastal region. It takes over more than 73,000 acres of land.

People of Croatia
The photos that I have included show more of what Croatia looks like and also of the people who live there. I have included a photo of the military, schools, and of a few guys hanging out. I have also put in a photo of the soccer team in Croatia because it is well known and there are many supporters. There are also two photos of women who represent the "traditional Croatia."
