Photo and description

National Park on the Krka River is one of the most popular national parks in Croatia. It is located between the towns of Sibenik and Knin in the valley of the Krka River. In 1985, Krka became known as a national park.

More than 860 types of plants grow here, some of which are endemic. There are more than 18 different fish species (10 endemics) in the Krka River. In addition, many species of birds live in the park, spring and autumn migration routes of migratory birds run through the park, which will be very interesting for bird watchers.

There are seven most picturesque waterfalls in the park. The largest among them is the Skradinsky beech waterfall. Its height reaches 46 meters. The smallest is Rosnyak waterfall (8 meters). In addition, there are waterfalls Miljachka, Manoilovats, Bilushich Buk, Brlyan, and Roshki Slap.

Having visited the park on one of the tourist trips, you can also see the main attractions of this area - the Visovac monastery and the Serbian Krka monastery. Visovac monastery was built on a small island of the same name. It was founded by the Augustinians in the 14th century. The Serbian monastery was also founded in the 14th century and during its history was destroyed several times by the Turks almost to the ground. In 2001 the monastery was completely renovated.

Do not forget to visit the ethnographic museum located near the Skradinsky beech waterfall. There are original water mills, as well as an unusual "washing machine" which runs on the energy that the waterfall provides.
