The lake as a shared feature in these commemorative postal stamps: a new stamp featuring Visovac Lake to be released tomorrow in the Republic of Croatia
The postal stamp bearing motives of Visovac Lake and Lake Cauma in Switzerland is a joint issue by Croatian Post and Swiss Post to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
The Public Institute of Krka National Park was pleased to accept the invitation of Croatian Post to take part in the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Croatia and Switzerland. On this occasion, the postal stamp created in cooperation with Swiss Post will be released on 5 May. The motifs on the stamps are Visovac Lake in Krka National Park and Lake Cauma, an alpine glacier lake.
Visovac Island is one of the most important natural and cultural sites in the Republic of Croatia. It is situated in the midst of this tame expansion of the Krka River between Skradinski Buk and Roški Slap. The Franciscan monastery and church on the island form a unique ambient in the picturesque landscape of Visovac Lake.
The idyllic Lake Cauma or Caumasee in Switzerland is near the town of Flims in the Graubünden region. This alpine glacial lake is found at an elevation of 997 metres and is fed by underground springs. With a picturesque island in the middle of the lake, it is also known as “Lag la Cauma”, which in the Romansch language means “lake of afternoon rest”. It offers visitors peace and relaxation, and the opportunity for a walk or active vacation.
In addition to being connected through their long-standing trading partnership, Croatia is a popular vacation destination for the Swiss. The beauty of both lakes, Visovac and Cauma, and their picturesque landscapes have been transferred onto postal stamps as the result of the fruitful cooperation of our two countries.
