Krka Waterfalls

Krka National Park encompasses a series of seven travertine waterfalls formed by the Krka River's karst landscape. Skradinski Buk features a massive natural pool and seventeen steps of tufa barriers, while Roški slap is distinguished by its 'necklace' cascades and historic watermills. The park also contains Manojlovac, the tallest fall at nearly 60 meters, and Bilušića buk, the only waterfall untouched by hydroelectric diversions. These sites are connected by wooden walkways and located near archaeological remains of the Roman military camp, Burnum.
