Krka National Park

Krka is one of the best national parks in Croatia, probably second by beauty after Plitvice Lakes. The name was received from the river which flows throughout the park.

There are 7 waterfalls in the park, but the vast majority of tourists visit only one waterfall, largest and most famous - Skradinski Buk. It consists of 17 stages with a total length of about 800 meters.

There is a lake with a bridge at the bottom of the waterfall.




Bridge offers best view of the waterfalls.
