Krka National Park & Etnoland Village Experience

OVERVIEW

Discover the natural wonders in Krka National Park and watch Dalmatian culture and history come alive at the Etnoland theme park. As you walk through the forested national park, the guide will describe the natural attractions, including the tufa travertine barriers that mineral deposits have formed in the river. Waterfalls thunder over many of these walls, including Skradinski Buk, a long run of cascades that tumble into a crystal-clear pool. You may spot sleek otters playing in the water, colorful Cleopatra butterflies flitting about and birds such as regal golden eagles and lightning-fast peregrine falcons. The main draw of the ethnographic theme park Etnoland is its authenticity as you may see artisans demonstrating ancient skills, hear folkloric stories and explore traditional buildings that reflect time-honored construction techniques. You will also dine family-style on courses that include peka, a hearty comfort food cooked under a dome-shaped lid that imparts a unique flavor.
