Skradin Krka National Park


Moved up to Camping Krka near Skradin outside Sibenik. Set aside a full day starting at 8am to visit the National Park Krka. A water wonderland. The casades are made by calcium carbonate depositing on the moss that covers the rock.  This is called trevertine.  The fish life in the rivers and lakes that have been formed is amazing but you can't fish it!  We visited all four parts of the park, firstly Skradinski But.  This is the main attraction with casades and waterfalls together with a mill complex, boardwalks and the remains of a 1895 hydroelectric plant second oldest to Niagra falls USA. Second stop was a boat ride to Visovac a small island further upstream which was a home to a working monastery.  Third stop was Roski Slap, another set of cascades called the necklace.  Here we joined a boat excursion upstream to an Orthodox monastery where we visited the catacombs and then onto the two fortresses further upstream.  Finally we drove to the top of the park to Burnum Roman ruins and museum and to a view point over the highest falls in the park.  We arrived back at camp at 8pm shattered but satisfied - a brilliant day out.
