Krka National Park is one of the most fascinating regions of Croatia and one of the most popular places to visit in Dalmatia!

The tour continues with an incredible walk through the park, across the network of forest paths and wooden bridges that take you to the beautiful site where river Krka flows to its. Along the way enjoy rich diversity of flora and fauna.
