Krka National Park is a vast and primarily unaltered area of exceptional natural value, including one or more preserved or insignificantly altered ecosystems. The purpose of the park is primarily to serve science, culture, education and recreation, while tourism activities have also been introduced for its visitors (http://www.npkrka.hr). It covers a total area of 109 km2 of the loveliest sections of the Krka River, and the lower course of the Čikola River. When you are there don’t miss to visit Skradinski buk, the seventh, final, and longest travertine barrier on the Krka River. It is located approximately 13 kilometers downstream from Roski waterfall.
The Kornat Islands (national Park) are the densest archipelago in the Mediterranean. Nowhere else in this large sea are such a great number of islands crammed in so little space. Because of ambiguous criteria of the definition of an island in general, there is no general agreement about their number. But we think that we shall not err much if we determine their number at 150.
