Walk through Krka National Park in Croatia

Krka National Park in Croatia is one of the country’s most stunning natural areas, famous for its waterfalls, especially the iconic Skradinski Buk. Located near Šibenik in Dalmatia, the park is named after the Krka River, which runs right through it. I left early from Zadar toward the National Park, spent the morning there, and then drove on toward Split. For me, this was the ideal alternation between nature and city. What makes Krka special: • Spectacular waterfalls: you can walk along wooden boardwalks that take you through the park and right across the water. • Swimming at Skradinski Buk has been banned since 2020 to protect the environment, but there are still some areas in the park where swimming is allowed, depending on the season. • Boat tours: you can take a boat to visit the Visovac Monastery (on an island in the river) or go further to Roški Slap, another beautiful waterfall. • Easy to reach: Many people visit the park on day trips from cities like Split or Zadar. Set your GPS to "Uzdravlje restaurant". If you arrive early, there's usually plenty of parking here. From this point, you'll find the ticket booth where you pay the entrance fee (around €20) – this includes a shuttle bus that takes you to the starting point of the main trail, and back. If you prefer, you can skip the shuttle and walk all the way to the waterfalls, it's not that far, but it can be a little steep. In terms of time, plan to spend at least half a day in the park. If you're up for some serious hiking, though, you could easily fill a couple of days – there are plenty of extended trails and hidden spots to explore.
