Krka National Park is the most accessible waterfall park in Croatia — a series of cascading travertine waterfalls on the Krka River, 80 kilometres north of Split, where you can swim in natural pools at the base of the Skradinski Buk waterfall (the park's most famous feature, a 45-metre cascade over 17 travertine steps). The park contains seven waterfalls, a Franciscan monastery on the island of Visovac in the middle of a lake, and the kind of emerald-green water that makes Croatian rivers famous.
The most popular section is Skradinski Buk — a 1.5-kilometre wooden boardwalk through the waterfall system that passes through the spray of multiple cascades, past old watermills, and to the swimming area at the base. Swimming was restricted in recent years to protect the travertine formations, so check current regulations before planning.
