National Park Krka

Tourist agency Sunturist-Novalja organise for you one day visit to National Park Krka.
The Krka National Park is a spacious, largely unchanged region of exceptional and multifaceted natural value, and includes one or more preserved or insignificantly altered ecosystems. It is intended primarily for scientific, cultural, educational, recreational, and tourism activities such as visiting and sightseeing. It was proclaimed a national park in 1985 and is the seventh national park in Croatia.
The Krka National Park is located entirely within the territory of Šibnik-Knin County and encompasses an area of 109 square kilometers along the Krka River: two kilometers downriver from Knin to Skradin and the lower part of the Čikola River. From the flooded part of the mouth, it is 72.5 kilometers in length, making the Krka the 22nd longest river in Croatia. The source of the Krka River is at the base of the Dinaric Mountains, 3.5 kilometers northeast of the base of Knin and 22 meters below Topoljski Slap, Veliki Buk and Krčić Slap, which are noisy cascades in the winter but run dry during the summer. of the brackish section is 23.5 kilometers. Significant tributaries of the Krka River include Krčić, Kosovčica, Orašnica, Butišnica and Čikola with Vrb. With its seven travertine waterfalls and a total drop of 242 meters, the Krka River is a natural and karstic phenomenon.
Eight hundred and sixty species and subspecies of plants have been identified within the territory of the Krka National Park, including several endemic Illyrian-Adriatic species. The wealth of plant species, where warm and dry habitats come into contact with moist and shady ones, are of particular interest at Roški Slap, with its canyon vegetation, and at Skradinski Buk, where you can see the plant species of the travertine barriers. Eighteen species of fishes inhabit the Krka River, among which ten are endemic, making the Krka a natural landmark of the highest category.
Patches of reeds, lakes formed along part of the river and swamped meadows abound in amphibians and birds, while thickets and stone quarries are home to reptiles. The abundance of various species of birds (222), the structure of the bird communities and the great significance of the Krka for spring and autumn migrations make it among the ornithologically most valuable regions of Europe. Among mammals, there are 18 species of bats, which are generally endangered or near extinction in the rest of Europe. The park can be toured from the water, by road or ond foot. It is possible to take an organised boat trip and see Skradinski buk from Skradin, together with the islet of Visovac and Roški slap from the moornings above Skradinski buk. If visitors wish it, panoramic trips to the mouth of the Čikola River can be organised as well.
