More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach into the humid spray of Krka National Park, boardwalks rising like a neat spine through reeds and fast water. The guide points toward the cascade at Skradinski Buk — broad, tiered falls that push the river into white sheets and shallow pools — then times your return so the group meets the boat at the pier.

History
Krka National Park protects centuries-old watermills and Roman sites along the river; the park was established to preserve the unique travertine waterfalls and cultural landmarks.
Conservation
Visitor pressure affects the travertine formations and shoreline habitats — stick to marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife and carry out waste to protect sensitive spring-deposited stone.
