Skradinski buk is one of Krka National Park’s signature sights: a wide sweep of waterfalls, channels and wooden boardwalks. From Skradin, reach it by park boat or follow the 3.4-kilometre walking and cycling trail from Skradin Bridge.
The choice shapes the day. The boat makes the approach part of the experience; the trail gives you a longer walk beside the river. Either way, leave time to explore the waterfall circuit.
Taking the boat from Skradin
Boats between Skradin and Skradinski buk usually run from April to October, within park opening hours. Check departures for your date, including the return service.
You need a valid park ticket for the boat. Online tickets can be shown in print or on your phone; tickets are also available through the park’s Skradin office.
Walking from Skradin Bridge
The trail from Skradin Bridge is 3.4 kilometres each way, before the waterfall circuit. If you want to walk one way and take the boat back, check that the service works for your date.

Can you swim at the waterfall?
Swimming is prohibited at Skradinski buk. Save your time here for the boardwalks and waterfalls, and check the park’s visitor information for other areas and activities.
