We stayed at Camp Krka which is 3km from one of the main entrances to the national park. On the first day here, we walked the 3km loop of the main waterfall, Stradinski Buk. Although there were signs saying ‘no swimming’ in the waterfalls, a lot of people still were in the water and so we followed suit! The water was chilly but very refreshing and it was hot enough to dry off and not be too cold once out of the water.
The following day, we decided to drive our van inside the national park as it was too far to hike. We found the most stunning lake side park where there were two piers from which you could jump into the water. After a swim and lunch by this lake, we continued up towards the northern part of the park and parked at Roski Slap falls. Here we viewed the waterfall and also hiked the 600+ steps to a cave. There were stunning views from the cave of the water passages that flow over the top of the mountain and become Roski Slap waterfall. For our last night at the camp, we opted to eat at the campsite’s restaurant and had a delicious hearty meal of veal chops and chicken steaks.
Sidenote: For our few days in Zadar, we stayed in the town of Matea. Zadar was quite nice but the light art installation on the waterfront was undergoing renovations unfortunately. The water looked amazingly clear but it was a rainy day and too cold for a dip. I had a bucket of delicious mussels here for lunch whilst Joe had a burger. Our campsite was right on the water’s edge and we spent an afternoon by ourselves on our own stretch of pebbly beach relaxing by the sea.
