As in the remaining world all roads lead to Rome, thus in Dalmatia all roads lead to Krka. This miraculous river that springs from under the Dinara mountain massif and ends into the Adriatic Sea, at the island of Zlarin and the UNESCO monument, the fortress of St. Nicholas, o its 72-kilometer long route connects Zvonimir's Knin and Krešimir's Šibenik, creating magnificent falls through travertine deposits – from Krčić, , Bilušić Buk, Brljani, Manojlovac, Rošnjak, Miljacka, to Roški Fall and Skradinski Buk.

This phenomenon of Dalmatian karst proclaimed National park in 1985, is visited every year by one million and 300 thousand visitors from all over the world, among which anonymous tourists hide crowned heads, fabulously rich Arab sheikhs and world-famous “celebrities” such as Bill Gates and Roman Abramovič. Some visitors come to Krka every year for once such an oasis of intact nature is seen, it cannot be easily forgotten. Human traces along the Krka date back to five thousand years before Christ and, flint knives, stone tools, bones of prehistoric animals can be seen in the Oziđana Cave.

Krka also has numerous mills, the oldest of which on Skradinski Buk dates back to the year 1251, and Visovac, a unique island with a Franciscan monastery from 1445 where the friars keep a rich collection of incunabula and the saber of the national hero Vuk Mandušić. The church of Our Lady of the Angels where on August 2, tens of thousands of Catholic believers make pilgrimages. The Krka Monastery is also the spiritual center of Orthodox believers, and not far away is the Roman military camp Burnum, with a magnificent and newly renovated archaeological collection from ancient times, and the Eco Campus in Puljani, then Nečven and Trošenj, Kamičak, medieval fortifications of noble families Šubić and Nelipić. Nowhere is the past as alive as on the Krka River, and nowhere does the future look as beautiful as on it. I guess that is the reason everyone is rushing there.
