General info: 

Krka takes its name from the river that crosses through the area in central Dalmatia. Since 1985, it provides cultural, recreational and scientific support for all interested people.

Visovac Island is in the middle of the lake and can be visited by boat. The island hosts a monastery built about 500 years ago. Other interesting places in Krka include Roski Slap, a system of cascades and a unique natural pool called Skradinski buk. This area was established as a national park back in 1985 and it comprises a surface of 109 square kilometers where almost one thousand different plants make up the flora, while hundreds others animals are part of the highly diverse fauna.
