2025-05-18 Krka national park, Vodice
=====================================

I’m falling behind with posting pictures. 😬

I expected the Krka national park to be similar to our visit to
Plitvice national park. But no, it was very different. There were
wooden walkways, lots of greenery growing in the rapids, lots of
tufaceous limestone. Everything else was different. 😄

It began with a long, steep trail from the parking lot down to the
river.

We reached the bottom and started on our trail.

the water flows between little islands of greenery then walkway
snakes its way over the rapids; trees are everywhere sometimes the
water lies still Alex and Claudia, both wearing hats

And the trail continues, the cascades pick up speed.

the walkway has a rail and people lean ot it, posing for selfies, with
the waterfall in the back the same waterfall without people

Time to say goodbye to the Krka national park!

We still had some time and decided to stop in Vodice on our way back
to Šibenik.

We mostly walked along the water towards Tribunj and back. It's so
nice to hear the waves and feel the breeze.

Apparently these trees grow mere meters from the ocean. How do they do
it? They don't look like mangroves to me. I assume some subterranean
compartment to keep their water supply separate.
