A morning drive from Dubrovnik loosens into a Dalmatian country road: olive groves edge the highway, limestone cliffs shorten and the Krka River begins to call. By the time the lead car threads into Šibenik-Knin County, the air smells of lavender and the sound of water grows from whisper to command. Visitors arrive at wooden footbridges that cross clear, green pools where travertine barriers slow the river and the falls urge you forward.
