Several mills are turned into souvenir shops or exhibition areas.

Krka National Park is open 365 days a year and it’s possible to visit all the waterfalls all year round.

FUN FACT: The Krka falls are so strong they powered the world’s second-oldest hydroelectric plant, Jaruga.This hydroelectric plant was built according to Nikola Tesla's patents but was put into operation only two days after the world's first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls. But, Šibenik was the first city in the world to receive public lighting on alternate current, which was coming from Jaruga hydroelectric plant!

There are 5 official entrances to Krka National Park: Skradin, Lozovac, Roški Slap/Laškovica, Burnum/Puljane, Kistanje/Krka monastery
