Itinerary description

Show original
Beautiful route through the Krka national park in Croatia, leaving at Skradin, to go along the left bank of the lake, until we reach the great waterfalls, which we have surrounded by crossing the walkways and bridges at the top. The return to Skradin, we have done it by boat (included in admission price).

KRKA National Park.-
The KRKA National Park encompasses most of the course of this beautiful river, in which its seven waterfalls stand out, in which the Roski slap waterfall is the widest and the Skradinski buk waterfall is the largest.

It also has numerous cultural and historical monuments, among which the Franciscan monastery on the island of Visovac stands out, which is as if it were a jewel of the landscape in a lake that is part of the river. In the monastery you can visit an art gallery and also the church dating from the fourteenth century.

In the canyon, at the top of the river's course is the interesting Orthodox monastery Krka, along with several ancient buildings suspended on the rocks above the water. Visitors are also attracted to the old mills transformed into small ethnographic museums, where you can see how wheat was milled in ancient times.

KRKA National Park.-

With its seven travertine waterfalls: Bilušića buk, Brljan, Manojlovac slap, Rošnjak, Miljacka slap, Roški slap and Skradinski buk, the Krka River is a natural and karst phenomenon.

Travertine is a common feature of the surface waters of the Dinaric karst; only the most extraordinary travertine creates significant layers, which build the waterfalls seen on the Krka River. The travertine waterfalls of the Krka River are very fragile formations, and are sensitive to environmental change and all human activities.

Only through the constant growth of phytogenic travertine is it possible to ensure the continued survival of the waterfalls that create the hydrogeology and landscape of the park, and form the foundation for its great biodiversity. The development and growth of the waterfalls is the result of complex physical, chemical and biological processes. In order for travertine to grow, live and age, it is imperative that the natural balance of the ecosystem of the Krka and Čikola Rivers be preserved.
