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.

Tourist info Skradin

Skradin Skradin is a small town in the Šibenik-Knin county Croatia, with a population around 4,000 inhabitants. It is located in a beautiful canyon, at the mouth of the river Krka in Prokljan lake 17 kilometers from the city of Šibenik. Due to its favorable geographical position, fertile land and abundance of freshwater this area have almost 6000 years-long history of settlement. There was once an Illyrian settlement (Scardona) and was the capital of the Liburnians. It later became an important Roman administrative and military center of the region until it was destroyed during the migration period, and he was in the 9th century settled by Croats. In the Middle Ages, it was one of the seats of the powerful Croatian noble family Bribir-Šubić. Over time it has lost its importance as a center of the region, which was moved to the nearby Šibenik. Today, however, it has become a very famous tourist destination of Šibenik riviera, thanks to its natural beauty and the Krka river. The town is full of charming apartments and rooms in private houses. Here is one of the entrances to the Krka National Park, where you can enjoy a range of waterfalls and travertine barriers, the biggest of which Skradinski Buk is named after Skradin. Skradin is known for its marina, which often visited by the worlds most famous people like Bill Gates. Skradin is characterized by narrow cobbled streets, passages, and stairs. The entire old town is a protected monument and is rich with charming restaurants and coffee bars. We recommend you walk up the hill above Skradin where you can visit the medieval fortress Turina. It was built by governor Pavle Šubić in the 14th century and from here you can enjoy in the beautiful panoramic view. Along with the fortress, probably the most recognizable symbol of Skradin is clock tower (Campanile) from 1872. Because of its weight, it was built on the nearby cliff rather than next to the church.
