The Experience

Before You Go

Wear sturdy shoes

Expect cobblestone streets in Trogir and uneven, sometimes slippery paths near the waterfalls—grip and support are essential.

Bring water and sun protection

Hydrate frequently and apply sunscreen, especially during summer months as the trail offers limited shade near waterfalls.

Plan for changing temperatures

Layer your clothing to adjust between sun-exposed coastal areas and cooler shaded forest trails within Krka Park.

Arrive early

Morning tours help avoid crowds and offer softer lighting for photography at both cultural and natural sites.

  • Kingfishers dart near the waterfalls, their flashes of color vivid against the greenery.

Conservation Note
