- Skradinski buk: the park’s signature travertine cascade — a semicircular series of terraced falls and emerald pools threaded with wooden boardwalks. It’s the most photogenic spot, and in summer you can actually swim in designated areas.
- Roški slap: a broader, island-speckled set of rapids and falls framed by oak groves. Less crowded than Skradinski buk, it’s perfect for photos, short boat trips, and spotting river life near the old watermills.
- Visovac Island & Franciscan Monastery: a tiny, storybook island in the middle of the Krka lake with a centuries-old monastery and cypresses. The short boat ride there makes the whole place feel wonderfully isolated and calm.
- Manojlovac Waterfall: the park’s most dramatic single drop (around 50-60 m). It plunges into a steep canyon and hits peak

- Manojlovac Waterfall: the park’s most dramatic single drop (around 50-60 m). It plunges into a steep canyon and hits peak drama after rain — great viewpoint if you want raw, powerful scenery away from the crowds.
- Krka River canyon & hiking trails: winding canyon walls, quiet riverbanks and marked paths that range from easy riverside strolls to steeper ridge hikes. Hike a bit and you’ll find viewpoints, little ruins and sections where the landscape suddenly feels wild.
- Wildlife & biodiversity: rich birdlife (herons, kingfishers and various raptors), native fish in the clear pools and a mix of Mediterranean and riparian plants — orchids and endemic species if you pay attention. Go quiet at dawn or dusk for the best chances to see animals.
- Traditional watermills & cultural features: restored mills and small ethnographic displays (especially around Roški slap) that show how locals used the river for centuries. They add a human-scale layer to the natural beauty — nice for a slow wander between falls.
