Between Roški Slap and Skradinski Buk, the Krka widens into Lake Visovac. From an elevated viewpoint on the shore, the view opens up over the calm, green shimmering water. All around, the wooded limestone slopes of the canyon rise up – arguably one of the most beautiful views in the entire Krka National Park.

The Roški Slap is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Krka National Park and is located in the middle reaches of the river. Its upper part forms a network of numerous small cascades, which are called „Ogrlice” due to their shape, Croatian for necklaces. Below, the water plunges about twelve meters over a wide main step. From the boat, you have a fantastic view of this natural wonder.

Where the nature trail at Roški Slap crosses the water, a long wooden bridge spans the Krka. It connects the two banks and leads right into the cascade landscape. The Krka flows here over countless travertine steps. From the planks, you look out onto the flowing water and the wooded canyon slopes on both sides. The Krka rushes beneath the boards, and dense greenery grows all around.

High above the middle reaches of the Krka, not far from the famous stairs, a fantastic view opens up over the river and the canyon. The slopes have been extensively reforested in the national park, so that dense forest covers the limestone walls. The light is most beautiful in the late afternoon, when the sun bathes the rugged rock edges in warm tones and the water gleams silver.

The entrance fee at the end of April 2026 was only €16 and it was well attended but not too crowded. An absolute highlight and a "must see" if you are in Croatia! Many fig trees line the path, which can only be explored via a wooden boardwalk. Although we encountered a person with a physical disability (in a wheelchair), the path is only partially suitable for people with disabilities due to some steps.

We were there at the end of April. The weather was great, not too crowded, and even a wheelchair user was on the boardwalk. The flora and fauna are impressive! Admission was €16. Souvenirs were completely overpriced and a scoop of ice cream cost €3.

A great waterfall, but very crowded. Even in the off-season, it's very crowded and costs €20 per person to enter (€40 in peak season). For nature lovers, the spots further up in Krka National Park are definitely more recommended.
