Krka National Park

THE KRKA NATIONAL PARK is located in the region of Sibenik and encompasses an area around the Krka River, which is 72.5 km long and flows into the sea near the town . The park comprises an exceptional natural area of 110 sq km with seven waterfalls, among which Skradinski Buk is the most beautiful.

The waterfalls were used for the production of electric power. The first hydro-electric power plant was constructed in 1898 near Skradinski Buk and the second one in 1906 near the Manojlovac waterfall (hydro-electric power plant Manojlovac I).

The National Park can be reached from Skradin, by boat, which goes upstream to Skradinski Buk. Another access to the Park is by car, to the entrance in Lozovac. From Lozovac – the park buses take visitors to Skradinski Buk. The waterfall Roski Slap may be reached by car via Miljevci or via Skradin.

The cruise from Skradinski Buk to Roski Slap includes also Visovac Lake, located between these two wonderful waterfalls. The tour includes also the visit of Visovac and the Franciscan monastery on the islet. The monastery may be visited individually. In that case it is necessary to take the monastery ship on the Miljevci side of the coast of Visovac Lake, below the village of Bristane.

The Park visitors can see the water mills in which cereals are ground with millstones and taste bread made of such ground cereals. There is also an ethnographical collection. Within the Park there are several catering establishments.
