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.
