Sounds like a good place to visit if you happen to be in this region.
I'll be out of touch next week -- see you in May!

In the movie ‘Behind enemy lines’ the escaping pilot was rescued off a frozen lake that appeared to be on a mountain top. I thought it was unlikely for a lake to be in an area like that. The movie was set in that part of the world so I suppose they could have modeled it after that type of lake.

sounds like travertine dams... if you don't feel like going to Croatia, though, and want to see travertine dams, Yellowstone's Mammoth Hot Springs comes to mind:

Us cavers are very familiar with the phenomenon. Many cave have exquisitely terraced ponds that transform the running water into placid pools.
The calcareous scum tends to collect at the downstream perimeter building up the lip. Even though the water is crystal clear, the thin rim of the translucent material is quite visible.

What a gorgeous place? Wonder if it is not too hard to get to, for tourists.
