The same walk costs 40 euros in July and 7 in January. What you get for each, when the boats and shuttle buses run, and what closes outside the season.

Checked: 31 August 2026

Skradinski buk is the part of the Krka national park almost everyone means when they say Krka: the wide travertine cascade at the southern end, reached on a boardwalk loop of about two kilometres. The walk itself barely changes across the year. The price does, by a factor of nearly six, and so does what the ticket includes.

Adult groups from 255 €16 €30 €
Ticket prices for all land locations in 2026, from the national park price list.

That is the whole planning decision in one table. A family of two adults and two teenagers pays 110 euros in July and 22 euros in November for the same boardwalk. Children under seven are free.

What the cheap months cost you

The low price is not a bargain without a catch. Boat excursions, the shuttle bus between Lozovac and Skradinski buk, the boat between Skradin and Skradinski buk, and the visits to Visovac island and Oziđana pećina all run only from 1 April to 31 October. Outside that window you reach the falls on your own and walk the loop on foot, and Roški slap along with the Manojlovac falls and Burnum is closed from November through March. Swimming has not been allowed at Skradinski buk since 2021 in any month.
