KRKA

Krka National Park With Croatia boasting seven national parks, each a stunning place to explore, Krka’s waterfalls, though less popular, are a match for the beauty of the Plitvice Lakes. Croatia’s Krka National Park is an undiscovered treasure for visitors! The park is renowned for its magnificent waterfalls and verdant foliage, and it has paths that culminate in spectacular vistas. Lush landscapes, unspoiled rivers, and the renowned waterfalls of Krka await your arrival. Three of the most popular tourist destinations are the Roski Slap waterfall, which stands at a height of 72 feet (22 meters); Skradinski buk, which is the most extended travertine barrier on the Krka River; and Visovac, a small island that is home to a Franciscan monastery and the Church of Our Lady of Visovac, which dates back to the 15th century. Our first stop was Skradinski Buk, often considered the most famous waterfall in the park. Along the wooden walks and trails surrounding the waterfalls, you can enjoy beautiful views from a variety of vantage points. Water gently cascades into a pool on the limestone terraces, creating a stunning scene. Unlike the Plitvice Lakes, Krka National Park offers a unique opportunity for visitors to swim in its lush lakes. With designated swimming areas, it’s the perfect escape from the summer heat, adding an exciting and relaxing element to your visit. Guidelines before visiting Krka National Park. Visitors can visit Krka National Park throughout the year. Every season has its own distinct characteristics. Spring and autumn are delightful due to their favorable weather, vibrant flora and wildlife, and educational walking and cycling routes. The winter season is when vegetation is dormant but is still visitable, which highlights the abundant water and reveals the geomorphological characteristics of the rocks and tufa. Summer, when the foliage is lushest, is the best time for swimming and enjoying fresh vegetables. However, it also coincides with a significant number of tourists visiting the area. To ensure you see all the main attractions, it’s best to arrive early in the morning to beat crowds and spend the day exploring the park. When purchasing tickets, you may pay with either cash (in euros) or any credit card. Credit cards are not accepted at the following sales locations: Remetić (Visovac), Oziđana Pećina Cave, Burnum, and Manojlovac Waterfall. You can easily reach the park from Split by car or by renting a day pass. Those without a car can take one of Split’s many tours. Bring your swimsuit and go swimming in the lake underneath Skradinski Buk! Please be aware that the bus and boat services are unavailable between November and March. However, there are alternative transportation options available during this period, such as private tours or car rentals.

Nikola Tesla’s Hometown- Smiljan Finding the Tesla Memorial Center in Smiljan was a surprise! Everyone was delighted by the great Nikola Tesla and his ground-breaking contributions to modern science and technology, so our last-minute trip was a happy discovery. Road journeys by themselves allow for natural itinerary adjustments and diversions. This freedom brought us to the Tesla Museum, where we fully engaged in the life of this remarkable creator. Born in a small Croatian town in 1856, visionary Nikola Tesla went on to transform the planet with his work on alternating current (AC) energy, which is still fundamental to our electrical systems today. Standing at the home that molded one of the greatest minds in history felt like a significant experience. Among other historical sites, the memorial center has been maintained as an homage to his legacy, Tesla’s childhood home, and the Serbian Orthodox St. Peter and Paul’s Church. This is a fantastic spot to explore Tesla’s early life and see how his passion for science and invention started. Imagine young Tesla here, contemplating the secrets of nature that would subsequently become his creative inspiration. The interactive exhibits captured our interest as they provided a practical chance to explore Tesla’s scientific discoveries. The museum displays his creations and brings Tesla’s creative ideas to life, fostering an immersive experience that ignites appreciation of his genius and inquiry. His constant search for knowledge and significant influence on our contemporary society inspired the whole family. This exhibit is a must-see regardless of your interests, whether they be in engineering, physics, or simply marveling at one of history’s greatest minds. For those heading through Zagreb or down the Dalmatian coast, this quick and straightforward detour is well worth stopping for! We were enthralled with the museum’s outstanding exhibits and outside spaces, which proved appealing to people of all ages—including adults. Regardless of their background or hobbies, Tesla’s narrative sparks wonder, curiosity, and invention that stays with every visitor. Make sure to visit Smiljan if you’re passing through!
