The Krka Waterfalls & Town of Skradin

The Wonders of Man and Nature Travel through Croatia’s beautiful countryside to Krka National Park and its sleepy gateway town of Skradin. The park covers almost 27,000 acres and is known for its cascading waterfalls and crystalline waters. Drive with your guide to Skradin and see why Microsoft founder Bill Gates has named this as his favorite vacation spot during a brief walking tour. Continue along the Krka River; your destination is the astonishing Skradinski Buk waterfalls. These 17 cataracts are considered to be among the most beautiful calcium-carbonate waterfalls in Europe, tumbling a total of 150 feet along a 1,312-foot stretch of the river. At their widest point, they span 328 feet across. Enjoy views of the foamy cascades and their crystal clear pools from a viewing platform. While at the park, you will also visit a small ethnological exhibit and a restored water mill, before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
