National park Krka
Skradin
River Krka source is in Dinara mountain near Knin and flows into the Adriatic Sea near Sibenik. Krka is a natural karst phenomenon because it builds 7 travertine barriers, waterfalls, from which is certainly the most impressive and the most famous Skradinski Buk. It is 400 meters wide and 50 meters high, the largest travertine cascade in Europe. Travertine barriers that form these imposing waterfalls are the main reason for preserving this karst beauty. The best time to visit the park is in the spring and summer. In the spring Krka is rich in water melting down from snow in Dinara mountain, and the waterfalls abound in water and show its full splendor. During the summer it is possible to swim under Skradinski Buk or Visovac lake, and because of the tourist season and the proximity of towns Šibenik, Vodice, Primošten, and Rogoznica, the whole park is crowded with tourists. There are several entrances to the park, and one of the most attractive is certainly from Skradin, a small picturesque place where the river Krka flows into the Prokljansko lake (flooded river Krka). From Skradin, boats are regularly going through the beautiful canyon, up to the entrance to the National Park at the foot of Skradinski Buk. In addition to the Skradinski Buk, some of the attractive locations to visit are Visovac lake, Roški Slap, Oziđana cave, Krka monastery, and Manojlovački waterfalls. One of the attractions of the park is the numerous stone watermills, which are no longer in use, and which have been used by the local population to produce flour in the past, and today you can find local specialties.
