The empire of Krka River, the magnificent karstic beauty traveling two thirds of its way to the sea through canyons.
On its green path, it has seven falls, the last one being Skradinski buk with an average flow of 55 cubic meters of water per second. National Park Krka is rich in flora and fauna. 222 bird species live there, making it one of the most valuable ornithological areas in Europe. You can visit it by boat, car or on foot. Make sure you visit the ethno museum on one of the old mills. National Park Krka also has the only hawk training center in Croatia where you can se presentations of hunting with hawks and hawk trainers’ skills.
Visovac and Skradin:
After the noise and rush of the falls, visitors are surprised to find the tranquillity of Visovac. This small island is the site of an old Franciscan monastery, established in the 16th century. Now home to a library of books and manuscripts, the monastery is the best place for contemplating the serenity of the park in perfect peace and quiet.
At the mouth of the Krka, where the river mixes with the Adriatic to form a brackish estuary, is Skradin. Originally an Ilyrian settlement, the Romans developed it into a fortified town and remnants of the aqueduct and other municipal buildings are well preserved as a national monument.
