The source of the Krka River is at the base of the Dinaric Mountains, 3.5 kilometers northeast of the base of Knin and 22 meters below Topoljski Slap, Veliki Buk and Krčić Slap, which are noisy cascades in the winter but run dry during the summer. Significant tributaries of the Krka River include Krčić, Kosovčica, Orašnica, Butišnica and Čikola with Vrb.

NP Plitvička jezera
The Plitvice Lakes National Park, located in the heart of Croatia, was founded in 1949. This area of 300 sq km (115 sq miles), covered in lakes and forest, has been a part of the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1979. It is particularly known for its spectacular waterfalls. There are 16 lakes within the park and the visitors can move around by following the paths along the shores or by using footbridges. Numerous footbridges and rowing boats enable visitors to get from one shore of a lake to another and are a lovely way to get in and explore the fin, pine and beech forests. Electric buses take people to the starting points of the trails and to the hotels in the park. The largest lake can be toured by electric boat. There are no towns or villages in the reserve, only hotels.
It is possible to follow signposted routes and walk behind the waterfalls to watch the rushing waters as they cascade from the lake above.
The forests alongside the waters are home to some of the largest European species of animal, including wolves, lynxes, foxes, wild bear, roebucks, wildcats, otters and badgers. Bird life is extremely varied: 160 species have been recorded, including the eagle, marsh harrier, peregrine falcon, hoopoe, kingfisher, heron, little owl, and tawny owl.
The park flora is very varied from water lilies on the lakes to forests of gigantic trees. There is also a rich undergrowth of shrubs, a source of food for wildlife. Hunting, fishing and swimming is not allowed.
Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik was founded in the 7th century. The city is surrounded by 2 kilometers of walls built between the 11th and 17th century. The Codified Statute, „Liber statutorum civitatis Ragusii“, was adopted in 1272. The Dubrovnik marchants concluded their first commercial contract in 1148.
King Richard the Lion heart found shelter against a storm not far from Dubrovnik on his return from the Crusades in 1192. Fulfilling a vow, he gave the city a sum of money to start building the Dubrovnik Cathedral.
Split
The grey stones of Diocletian´s Palace have witnessed 17 centuries, but they are still very much alive with youthful blood and have captured the hearts of all generations. Although all tales about Split inevitably begin with the Palace from which Diocletian ruled, Split is, nevertheless, much more than merely a part of the Roman heritage from which it sprang. Split is one of the few melting pots for the traditions from the Western, Antique and Christian worlds which has greatly enriched the cultural life of the town and its peoples. Since Diocletian persecuted Christians, it is paradoxical that the mausoleum he built as his final resting place was converted into, what is today, the oldest Catholic Cathedral in the world. After the town guards withdrew from the large stone gates allowed travelers to view the Pristyle, Jupiter´s Temple, Viseslav´s Baptistery and other precious jewels of the Roman and Croatian heritages, Split spilled over the palace walls and a new town took shape. Today, Split´s shore is dotted with modern hotels and several marinas. Modern day Split´s lifeline is tourism.
