Krka is the seventh national park in Croatia. It is known for its numerous lakes and waterfalls. It was named after the river Krka, which is also a part of the park. The national park is situated in central Dalmatia, downstream of Miljevci and only several kilometres southeast from Šibenik. It is comprised of the area along the river Krka, whose source is at the foot of the Dinara Mountain near Knin. It flows through a 75-kilometre-long canyon, through Lake Prokljan and into the Šibenik Channel. It stretches across the area of 142 sq kilometres, 25.6 of which is the water area. Today Krka has seven waterfalls, and its beauties are a real natural karst phenomenon. It is recommended to visit it in spring or summer. Krka is then in its full splendour, and you can even refresh yourself in its clear water.
