2009International Water Day - Watermills in Pliva Lakes - Set

Croatia Post Mostar, on the occasion of International Day of Water, who were declared the United Nations to be recalled to the importance of protection of water and lack of potable water in many countries of the world, has issued two commemorative stamps. River Pliva is shown on them as well as mills, which represent the great ethnographic value. Pliva, with its lakes, waterfalls, caves, mills and natural landscapes with rare flora and fauna creates unique natural whole. Five kilometers from the center of Jajce there are only preserved mills in which the wheat is milled and are called Mlincicima. They are built on travertine barrier between Little and the Great Lakes and for centuries they testify about the life of residents of Jajce region.
