Detailed itinerary

Once in the Park, you may enjoy last set of falls, before the river meets the sea. The Skradinski Buk Fall is a spectacular multi level cascade over travertine cliffs. This waterfall is known as a most beautiful waterfall in Europe. It is 46 meters high, which makes it the highest travertine (gypsum) barrier in Europe. Above the falls is a large plateau that offers spectacular views and a perfect photo opportunity.
The Krka river spills here over the 17 cascades which you can view on a leisurely and safe walk along the walking trails and wooden bridges.
You'll also have a chance to visit the small ethnological exhibition and the old mill. The whole area is rich with flora and fauna. Due to strict new preservation laws, this extraordinary area has been kept in its original state.
That's "water GAUDI".
Swimming is not permitted at Skradinski buk!

Zadar offers you a unique fusion of a historic old town with Roman ruins and medieval churches. Let a professional guide take you back in time and show you all the secrets of this town.
Incredible Sea Organ , designed by local architect Nikola Basic, is unique. Set within the perforated stone stairs that descend into the sea is a system of pipes and whistles that exudes wistful sighs when the movement of the sea pushes air through it. The effect is hypnotic, the mellifluous tones increasing in volume when a boat or ferry passes by.
