Krka National Park: Water

Krka River flows through a tight corner of Croatia. A few decades ago, there was a working mill here. Donkeys brought the wheat down the mountain (There is ALWAYS a mountain in Croatia to overcome.) and after the local workers turned it into flour, the donkeys brought it back up.




The park has a 1 1/2-mile hike around waterfalls. It was beautiful. I love feeling the power of waterfalls. Most people ride on the Maid of the Mist. I skipped that and experienced the Cave of the Winds. Idiots wear a "souvenir" sandals and rain poncho so they stand 20 feet from Bridal Veils Falls and get the breath pounded out of their bodies by the force of the falling water. Krka River is nowhere as painful or but it is serene and beautiful.
