Narodni park Krka
Skradin
Vir reke Krke je v Dinari pri Kninu in se izliva v Jadransko morje pri Šibeniku. Krka je naravni kraški pojav, saj gradi sedem sedrenih pregrad, slapov, od katerih je zagotovo najbolj impresivna in najbolj znana Skradinski buk. To je 400 metrov široko in 50 metrov visoko, največja travertinska kaskada v Evropi. Travertinske pregrade, ki tvorijo te impozantne slapove, so glavni razlog za ohranitev te kraške lepote. Najboljši čas za obisk parka je spomladi in poleti. Spomladi Krka je bogata z vodo, ki se topi iz snega na Dinari, slapovi pa obilujejo z vodo in kažejo svoj polni sijaj. Poleti je možno plavati pod Skradinskim bukom ali Visovačkim jezerom, zaradi turistične sezone in bližine mest Šibenik, Vodice, Primošten in Rogoznica pa je celoten park poln turistov. Obstaja več vhodov v park, eden izmed najbolj privlačnih pa je zagotovo iz Skradina, majhnega slikovitega kraja, kjer se reka Krka izliva v Prokljansko jezero (poplavljena reka Krka). Iz Skradina čolni redno gredo skozi lep kanjon do vhoda v narodni park ob vznožju Skradinskega buka. Poleg Skradinskega buka so privlačne lokacije za obisk: jezero Visovac, Roški slap, jama Oziđana, samostan Krka in Manojlovaški slapovi. Ena od znamenitosti parka so številne kamnite mlinice, ki jih ni več v uporabi in ki jih je v preteklosti uporabljalo lokalno prebivalstvo za proizvodnjo moke, danes pa lahko najdete lokalne specialitete.
