Skradinski buk
Skradin, Croatia
The largest waterfall of Krka National Park, a wide cascade of travertine steps crossed by boardwalks. Swimming has been banned since 2021; reach it by the park boat from Skradin or the shuttle from Lozovac.
Skradinski buk in Krka National Park near Skradin (Dalmatia, Croatia) is the seventh and last travertine barrier on the Krka River and, according to the park authority, the longest in Europe. The water drops over limestone-tufa steps in many small cascades, with pools in between. According to the park authority, swimming is not allowed here (as of October 2026).
A 1,900 m educational trail on boardwalks leads around the falls. Along the way you pass restored watermills and the remains of the Krka hydroelectric plant of 1895. From Skradinski buk, excursion boats run to Visovac Island (two hours there and back) and to the Roški slap waterfall (four hours).
The park has two entrances, Skradin and Lozovac. The Rough Guides travel guide describes Skradinski buk as the busiest part of the park: on warm summer days it is crowded. It says you could spend a whole day here.
