Skradinski Buk

The longest waterfall on the Krka River is Skradinski Buk, located in National Park Krka. It is situated close to Skradin, at the very tip of the Krka River. Many visitors make the annual trip to witness this incredibly gorgeous waterfall, which is made up of lovely travertine barriers, islands, and lakes. In Croatian, the word "buk" refers to noise made by vigorous water movement. Skardinski Buk consists of 17 stairs with a combined length of 800 meters. The difference in height is 45 meters.

The majority of Skradinski Buk's travertine is less than 10,000 years old. The "dead tufa" on the river's ancient channel is 125 thousand years old. One of the most distinctive and stunning landscape views of the National Park was produced as a result of the building of the travertine barrier on Skradinski Buk, which caused the upstream lake flooding of the Krka River to Roski slap. Below Skradinski Buk is where the river Krka's (estuary) mouth starts. The most bustling area of the Krka National Park is often Skradinski Buk, where there are a lot of gift shops and eateries. Visitors may stroll securely and take in the view all year long thanks to a network of trails and bridges. Watermills, which have been powered by water flow for generations, have been restored at Skradinski Buk, as well as other locations in the park. Mills have served as gift shops and exhibit locations for regional ethnographic collections.
