From the Archives- Skrandinski Buk

We went to Croatia back in 2015 and had a wonderful time travelling from Split to Korcula to Sipan to Dubrovnik with various day trips. It is a country with so much natural beauty that I am very keen to return to.  Here's a post, which Ally reminded me of, when she posted about waterfalls recently of my day trip to the Krka National Park.
Enjoy!

Croatia Day 5: Waterfalls, waterfalls, waterfalls at Skrandinski Buk

IMG_5428
Usually CBC and I like to do our own thing rather than going on organised tours, but when it came to finding our way to the Krka National Park, home to the stunning Skradinski Buk waterfalls, we decided to go on an organised excursion.  We went to Splitlicious, a company who different daily excursions and set off in a minibus with 5 other people and a crazy Communist driver who saw it as his mission to fill us in on misconceptions in British and American understanding of Croatian/Yugoslavian history. We drove to the river Krka and took a boat into the National Park, where we could access the variety of waterfalls through a series of wooden walkways. I think the photos speak for themselves so I shall restrict myself to a few comments here and there.  Enjoy...

The wooden walkways make it really easy to walk round, even with buggies.

There were lots of these fish in pools. We laughed lots because the first pool seemed to have tadpoles, then there were small fish, then bigger fish, even bigger and so on.We were expecting sharks by the end.

We caught sight of this snake in the water. It is harmless though there are other harmful snakes in Croatia including the Horn-nosed viper.

At the end, I went in for a swim though the sun had gone behind the clouds by then and it was a bit colder so I didn't stay in for long.

We then set off for the last leg of our journey that day...

  1. Wow, those waterfalls are amazing and so beautiful. I'm not a fan of that snake though. A good picture of you in front of that waterfall.
    Hugs, Julia

  2. How utterly beautiful, what a lovely country. My daughter and I were sent as delegates to a conference in Croatia in 2003. Sadly the programme was so full we mostly saw the conference centre! But the people we met were very hospitable, even if we didn't see much of the country.

  3. Spectacular photos, you've really captured the strength and beauty of the water although in these Covid times I shuddered to see all those people clustered together.
    You look really cheeky in your hat! xxx

  4. My husband and I went to Krka national park at the beginning of this summer. There was a great discount and no crowds. It was amazing. I'm planning to blog about it soon.
