Audio Guide of Krka National Park

The park is open from April to October, with opening hours that vary by season (generally 8:00 AM-8:00 PM in summer). The main entrance is Skradin (75 km from Split). You can get there by car, bus, or organized tour. Check exact times on the official website.

In 2024, admission costs between 40 HRK (€5.50) in the low season and 200 HRK (€27) in the high season. Children aged 7-18 receive a discount, and children under 7 enter free. You can buy tickets online or at the ticket office. It includes the boat to Skradinski Buk.

We recommend at least half a day (4-5 hours) to see Skradinski Buk, its waterfalls, and boardwalks. If you also want to visit Visovac Monastery or hiking trails, set aside a full day. Avoid the hottest hours in summer.

Krka, established in 1985, stands out for its 7 unique waterfalls formed by karst sediment, especially Skradinski Buk (the largest in Europe for that phenomenon). It also has historical value: 14th-century monasteries and old mills converted into ethnographic museums.

May-June and September: good weather and fewer crowds. July-August: ideal for swimming beneath the waterfalls (in the permitted area) but very crowded. Best time of day: early morning (8:00-10:00 AM) to avoid 80% of mass tourism.

The Skradinski Buk area has accessible wooden boardwalks up to the main viewpoint, but with steep slopes. The rest of the park includes uneven paths and stairs. They offer adapted wheelchairs by reservation.

Must-sees: Šibenik (15 km) with the Cathedral of St. James (UNESCO World Heritage Site), St. Michael's Fortress, and medieval streets. Also Split (80 km), Trogir (50 km), or Lake Vrana. More information at the Šibenik Tourist Board.

1) Non-slip footwear for the wet boardwalks. 2) Sunscreen and a hat, as there is little shade. 3) Swimsuit and towel in summer. ⚠️ Arrive before 10:00 AM! (after that, there can be lines of up to 2 hours). Park in official parking lots (30 HRK/day).
