About Waterfalls of the Krka River

The Krka River flows for about seventy kilometres through a deep limestone canyon in Dalmatia before it reaches the sea near Šibenik. On its way it tumbles over a series of waterfalls built of travertine, a soft stone that forms as minerals settle out of the water on mosses and plants. The largest, Skradinski Buk, drops in seventeen steps. In 1895 one of the first hydroelectric power plants in the world was built here, and it lit the streets of Šibenik. Most of the river has been protected as a national park since 1985.

Puzzle tip: start with the white streams of the falls; the green trees around them and the pool below take more patience.
