Krka National Park Nacionalni Park Krka

Established in 1985 the Krka National Park (Nacionalni Park Krka) protects the area around the middle and lower areas of the River Krka. As the river flows down from the upper reaches there are a series of lakes and rapids and the beautiful Roski Slap and Skradinski Buk waterfalls. At the center of the park is Lake Visovac, below the Roski Slap waterfalls.

From here the Krka River joins up with the River Cikola, flowing over Skradinski Buk and out to the sea.

The park is home to about 200 different bird species, including herons and egrets. It also has some cultural attractions including an Orthodox Krka Monastery (Arandjelovac), dating to the early 15th Century at the north end of the park and Samostan Visovac, the island monastery on Lake Visova.

Krka National Park can be accessed from Lozovac, Miljevci, or Skradin. From Skradin boats run upriver to the waterfalls. It is also possible to reach Roski Slap from Miljevci.
