About Krka National Park

We mentioned that Krka National Park is the second most popular in the country, and its main attractions are, without a doubt, the waterfalls. During the summer months, you can enjoy swimming around the Skradinski Buk waterfall.

The park is also home to around 800 different species of plants, and there are thought to be 18 different types of bats that call the park home, so hiking and exploring beyond the main trails is a great idea.

 

The park is named after the river which flows through it, the Krka River, and encompasses Skradinski Buk Falls and Roski Slap. These are a series of waterfalls that reach a maximum height of around 45 meters. The appearance is beautiful, especially when the sun is shining through the canopy of the trees. Photography here is a big must! Be sure to take a boat ride through the park to enjoy nature to the max.

It’s not all about nature, although that is undoubtedly the main pull. The park is home to Visovac Island, which houses a monastery dating back to 1445. You can go inside and look around at your own leisure or perhaps visit the old watermills and see how people lived in yesteryear.
