Krka National Park

A national park along the Krka River, with a series of beautiful waterfalls and cascades. The largest, Skradinski buk, has 17 steps over 800 m, crossed by wooden walkways, with old watermills. A boat runs upstream to the island monastery of Visovac.


Swimming is no longer allowed at Skradinski buk. Go early in summer to avoid crowds; tickets are cheaper outside the peak season. Boats from Skradin bring you in. It's about an hour from Split, near Šibenik.
