Krka, River system in Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia
Description
The Krka River flows through limestone landscapes, forming a series of waterfalls as it winds toward the sea. Underground springs feed the river year-round, creating a green corridor through the region.

People settled along this river in very ancient times, with evidence of communities from the Stone Age onward. Settlements continued to flourish through Roman times and into the early medieval period.
