Krčić Waterfall

There are multiple travertine waterfalls along the Krčić river's bed, with the Krčić waterfall being the biggest and most stunning. Underneath it, the Krka River rises. The waterfall has a height of 22 meters and a width of 30 meters during the rainy season. Veliki Buk and Turopoljski Buk are other names for it. It is situated close to Knin and receives its water supply from the Dinara mountain. In an endeavor to construct a hydroelectric power station, the Krčić waterfall was explosively destroyed and the travertine dam on the Krčić river was chambered, turning it into a seasonal waterfall.

Krčić slams against Krka with all its force as fall transitions into spring, and as winter sets in, it welcomes guests with snow and ice crystals. But in the summer, when it's hot and dry, the waterfall stops flowing, leaving behind white and green rocks that appear to have melted. The waterfall stops flowing during the summer, and the Krka's cave entrance then appears. The waterfall at Krčić has a legend. On the slope to the left of the waterfall, there formerly stood a fort that guarded the bridge. According to legend, the bridge will be reconstructed after conflict stops. The water will then flow continuously and the waterfall will stop drying up. Napoleon ordered a 15 km long macadam road along the Krčić River to be built 200 years ago to link Knin with Kijevo hamlet. You can reach the Cetina river's source by traveling deeper down Krčić Canyon on this old road.
