The construction of a new footpath at the entrance to the Krka National Park enables greater safety for all traffic participants on the national road over the Skradin Bridge

In addition to taking a boat from Skradin to Skradinski buk waterfall, the most famous and most visited waterfall on the Krka River, and also the longest travertine barrier in Europe, nature lovers can also go by bicycle route or pedestrian path.

With this project, an additional step has been taken towards ensuring the safety of visitors who choose an active visit to the Park and at the same time use the pedestrian-cycling path that leads from the Skradin Bridge to the Skradinski buk waterfall. The building of the new pedestrian path has created safer and better conditions for the travel of the citizens of Skradin and their guests to the entrance to the Krka National Park, as they completely bypass the state road.”, pointed out the director of the Krka National Park, Nella Slavica, who added: “The path leads to the beginning of a network of educational hiking trails and cycling routes that stretch throughout the entire National Park and lead to the most famous natural features of Our Beautiful Croatia, unique cultural and historical monuments and spiritual centers, which are the focus of many visitors from all over the world.

In order to make access from Skradin as safe as possible, the Krka National Park launched a project to build a pedestrian path along the right bank of the Krka River, which, passing under the Skradin Bridge, connects the new Skradin city pedestrian-bicycle path – to the entrance to Krka National Park and the pedestrian-bicycle path that leads from the bridge to the Skradinski buk waterfall. The total cost of the construction was EUR 268,994.76.

“This project is primarily important for the safety of visitors to the National Park, but also for the resident population, which mostly utilizes the benefits of their proximity to the Park in the winter months. In support of this is the fact that in November work will start on a project that we are developing in cooperation with Hrvatske Ceste (the state Croatian Roads firm), which will arrange a promenade from the city to the entrance to the Park. This will supplement the pedestrian-bicycle trail, which will further improve the quality of services that the Park provides to visitors who look for such a recreational form of tourism, of which there are more and more today”, stated the mayor of  Skradin, Antonijo Brajković, and continued: “In addition to safety, the attractiveness of the project itself is not negligible. I will not be falsely modest, so I would say that so far it has been, and especially it will be after the completion of the announced project, one of the routes that certainly provides the most beautiful environs for walking or driving along the river.

In the canyon that stretches from the Skradin Bridge to the Skradinski buk waterfall, the Krka River is mild and peaceful. When a person raises his or her eyes from the blueness of the river, the gaze comes to rest on the green cliffs of the canyon. They have nameds and are well taken care of, and are decorated with pines and cypresses. On the left is Lozovačka, and on the right is Mala Brina, along which a 3.4 km long hiking trail passes. Today, this path, cut into the right bank of the Krka River, is a meditative path to the magnificent Skradinski buk waterfall for all those who are not in a hurry, and who wish to experience nature with every step they take.
