Holiday in Krka

What makes Krka special as a destination?

Krka National Park is the natural jewel of Dalmatia and delights with seven spectacular travertine waterfalls along the Krka River. The most famous, Skradinski Buk, is an 800-meter-long cascade of 17 steps that flows into a turquoise pool — a natural spectacle that can be admired for hours. The park covers 109 square kilometers from Knin to the mouth at Skradin. In contrast to the Plitvice Lakes, Krka National Park is close to the coast and can be easily reached as a day trip from Šibenik, Split, or Zadar. Access is via several entrances, with Skradin being the most popular — from there, a picturesque boat takes visitors upstream to Skradinski Buk. The upper waterfall, Roški Slap, is less visited and offers an idyllic scene with its wooden watermill. On the island of Visovac in the middle of the river stands a Franciscan monastery from the 15th century with a valuable library and art collection — accessible only by boat. In the upper reaches of the park is the Serbian Orthodox Monastery Krka (Sveti Arhandjel) located in a deep gorge. The flora and fauna are remarkable: over 860 plant species, rare birds, and endemic fish species live here. The best time to visit is in spring when the waterfalls are most impressive after the snowmelt. Since 2021, swimming at Skradinski Buk is unfortunately no longer allowed, but the beauty of the place remains untouched.
