Tips from the Community

The entrance fee at the end of April 2026 was only €16 and it was well attended but not too crowded. An absolute highlight and a "must see" if you are in Croatia! Many fig trees line the path, which can only be explored via a wooden boardwalk. Although we encountered a person with a physical disability (in a wheelchair), the path is only partially suitable for people with disabilities due to some steps.

We were there at the end of April. The weather was great, not too crowded, and even a wheelchair user was on the boardwalk. The flora and fauna are impressive! Admission was €16. Souvenirs were completely overpriced and a scoop of ice cream cost €3.

A great waterfall, but very crowded. Even in the off-season, it's very crowded and costs €20 per person to enter (€40 in peak season). For nature lovers, the spots further up in Krka National Park are definitely more recommended.

The effort was worth it, even at 30 degrees Celsius. Be sure to bring sensible shoes and something to drink. The view is fantastic.

Super rustic! Mixed snack platter3 (olives, ham, cheese) for 15 euros per person (as of October 2024). The landlady also offers a homemade schnapps.

The daily timetable is written on a wooden sign - but be there early, as passenger spaces are limited.
