Rising early in Split, you board a comfortable vehicle for the 90-minute journey east toward Croatia’s famed Krka National Park. Arrival at Entrance Lozovac marks the start of a measured descent—a 2-kilometer paved walk that threads alongside the park's centerpiece, Skradinski Buk waterfall. This cascading marvel demands attention not just for its size but for the way water commands the landscape, tumbling over travertine terraces shaped by millennia of mineral deposits. The river dares you to linger by its edges, the mist from falling water freshening the air.
