Krkic Waterfall Knin

At Krkic Waterfall Knin the river drops over rock into a clear pool, a refreshing stop on a hot day.

History and background

Once thought to be the largest Adriatic island, Krk has been settled since Roman times. The Glagolitic Baška tablet, a key monument of the Croatian language, was found here in the 11th century.

Good to know

Krkic Waterfall Knin stands in Dalmatia, one of the six regions that make up the Croatia most visitors fall for. From the Adriatic shore to the karst mountains and the quiet inland valleys, this part of the country gives you something worth the detour.

Waterfalls roar in spring after snowmelt and dwindle to a trickle by late summer. Time your visit to match what you want to see.

Practical info

• Entry: check the official source before you travel. Prices and opening hours change, and some spots close entirely out of season.
• How to get there: Use the OpenStreetMap and Google Maps links above for directions. Public transport to remote spots is thin, so a car or an organised tour is usually the easiest option.

Best time to visit

Croatia is at its best from May to October. June and September are the sweet spot, warm water, long days, and thinner crowds than high July and August. Winter shows a quieter, cheaper and surprisingly handsome country, especially inland and in the cities.
