Krka
is a river in Dalmatia which springs out at the western foot of
the Dinara mountain, and flows into the sea near Šibenik. In
limestone it forms a narrow and deep canyon, flowing over
travertine barriers and forming waterfalls. In the lower part of
the course is the most beautiful waterfall on the river:
Skradinski Buk (37.5m). Between Skradinski Buk and Roški Slap is
Visovac Lake with an islet on which there is a Franciscan
monastery with a small church.
Downstream of Skradinski Buk is the
Krka River estuary in which freshwater mixes with saltwater. Part
of the estuary is also Prokljansko Lake.
The park visitors may see the water
mills in which cereals are ground with millstones and taste bread
made of such ground cereals.
The National Park may be reached
from Skradin by boat, or by car to the entrance of Lozovac. From
Lozovac buses take visitors to Skradinski Buk. |
