THE KRKA NATIONAL PARK AND ŠIBENIK Šibenik is a medieval town situated in the picturesque bay at the mouth of the karsts highlight – the River Krka. Take a stroll around the town and enjoy the sightseeing of numerous sights among which the most prominent is the Cathedral of St. James – the most important architectural monument of the Renaissance in Croatia and a masterpiece of Croatian and European architecture. It is built entirely of stone: limestone from a nearby stone quarry and marble from the island of Brač. The magnificent beauty of the River Krka, in its short course towards the sea, creates numerous cascades and waterfalls, the most beautiful of which, in the opinion of a large majority of people, is Skradinski buk waterfall. In an area 400m in length and 100 m in width there are 17 waterfalls. Due to the wealth and variety of geomorphologic forms, vegetation, and the various effects caused by the play of light on the whirlpools, Skradinski buk is considered to be the most beautiful calcium carbonate waterfall in Europe. This place of natural splendour with its shades of green colour and defiant river, its rapids, waterfalls, watermills and silent guards of medieval fortresses calls for exploration and relaxation. Visovačko jezero with Franciscan monastery Visovac (18th century) is the largest lake located between two idyllic waterfalls. Coming to this oasis of peace and beauty, you will feel as if the time has stood still, and as if this little island were figments of our imagination. Relax your body and spirit in the idyllic green of this place and experience the primeval, clean and unique nature.
