Discover the stunning beauty of Croatia’s Krka National Park, named after the Krka River. This natural oasis boasts hiking trails, emerald lakes, picturesque waterfalls, and refreshing swimming holes. The park is a haven for various endemic species of birds, fish, and amphibians, adding to its ecological significance.

In addition to the breathtaking landscapes, visitors can delve into the area’s rich history. Explore the restored ethnic village near Skradinski Buk, the park’s largest waterfall, where you can learn about the traditional way of life along the riverbanks. The locals affectionately call the waterfall “Buk” due to its thunderous sound, known as “buka” in Croatian.

After admiring Skradinski Buk, take a leisurely drive to the Roški Slap region of the park. This area is less crowded and offers opportunities for leisurely walks, invigorating hikes, and a visit to a small prehistoric cave.

Don’t miss the chance to visit Visovac, a charming islet in the middle of the river housing a Franciscan monastery. Take a brief guided tour of the island, complete with a pleasant boat ride, to soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

Before you depart, make sure to stop by the site of Europe’s oldest power plant, which dates back to 1895. Witness the historical significance of Šibenik, where locals were the first in Europe to experience electricity.
