Krka, River system in Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia
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.
Old water mills dot the riverbanks, showing how locals once processed grain using the flow of water. These structures remain part of the landscape and speak to how communities have lived alongside this river for generations.
The river can be accessed from multiple locations, with main entry points in larger towns nearby. Boat services and parking facilities are available at these access points.
The water remains at a relatively stable temperature year-round because it is fed by underground sources filtered through limestone. This supports a unique plant and animal life adapted to these constant conditions.
