​Krka National Park By Allison Pinski

Krka National Park is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Located near Sibenik, Krka is home to a variety of wildlife (which I unfortunately didn’t see much of) and some of Croatia’s most iconic waterfalls. While I wasn’t able to see all seven of the park’s waterfalls due to time constraints, I saw the most popular one; Skradinski buk.

The easiest way to visit Krka is with a tour group. Trips can be booked from virtually any city, although it’s cheaper to travel to Split or Sibenik before finding a tour. I left with a group from Split, taking an hour-long bus ride to Krka. Depending on how you get to Krka, the price of admission may vary. I paid 320kn (around $50) for transportation and admission, which was a pretty good deal.
 
Park visitors are able to swim in designated areas and walk through the woods on trails. The entire park is beautiful, and I wish I had more time to see it. Swimming near Skradinski buk was amazing, although no one told us about the current. You’re not allowed to swim directly near the waterfall (for obvious reasons), but the surrounding area has a semi-strong current and awkwardly-placed rocks, making it difficult to navigate yourself around.
