Roški slap, Limestone waterfall in Krka National Park, Croatia
Roški slap is the sixth and penultimate waterfall on the Krka, about 14 km downstream of Miljacka slap. Its tuff barrier is 650 m long and up to 450 m wide, with a height difference of 22.5 m. It begins with small cascades called Ogrlice, then widens into several branches and islets before the main 15 m fall drops into Visovačko jezero.
The area has a long history of using water power, with mills forming the center of local economic life. This tradition stretches back centuries and shaped how settlements developed in the Krka valley.
The settlement near the waterfall displays traditional crafts and old mill buildings that remain part of the region's identity. You can observe how water power once supported the daily work and livelihoods of local people.
Roški slap lies about 14 km downstream of Miljacka slap, and the main fall of 15 m drops into Visovačko jezero at the end of the Krka canyon. A hydroelectric plant built in 1910 stands on the right bank and still carries the waterfall's name. Paths and boats in Krka National Park connect the site with the rest of the canyon.
The cascade at the start of the tufa barrier is called Ogrlice ("necklaces"). The barrier itself is 650 m long and up to 450 m wide, with a total drop of 22.5 m; the main fall, 15 m high, pours into Visovačko Lake. The name comes from Rog fortress, of which little remains.
