With its seven travertine waterfalls and a total drop of 242 m, the Krka River is one of the most beautiful natural and karst phenomena in Croatia. It has been protected as a National Park due to its very rich and diverse living world, with numerous endemic, rare and threatened species. The main attractions are the big Skradinski Buk waterfall, the small island of Visovac with a Franciscan monastery and the Roski waterfall. We will explore the area by bike, which is a great and time-saving way to see the many beauties that can be found along Krka’s shores.
Since Sibenik town is very close, we will use the opportunity to make a short afternoon visit to walk along the town’s narrow streets, admiring the old stone houses and the famous St Jacob’s Cathedral.
And before you know it, our Family Multisport Adventure has come to an end. To celebrate our amazing adventure we will have a final dinner together and exchange experiences before saying goodbye to each other.
