A relatively easy circular tour in the Karka Waterfalls Reserve, which is rich in water and unique views, the tour includes, as mentioned, a cruise to the park and a magical walk next to water and waterfalls. After the end of the walk on the route you can bathe in the central pool of the park. A respectable part of the route is on wooden bridges passing through the center of the park's ponds, with the largest bridge crossing the central pond and connecting the walkers on the route to the beginning of the circular route.

Author’s recommendation

* Bathers are advised to come to the reserve with a waterproof bag in which you can put your valuables and enter the water with them.

* In the central pool there is a strong current of water that requires physical effort, therefore physical strength and good swimming ability are required, small children must be well watched when bathing.

* It is recommended to come to the park when it opens, as towards lunchtime it becomes crowded with visitors, and the amount of daily tickets is also limited.

Turn-by-turn directions

The route starts in the village of Skardin where you have to enter the ticket office and buy tickets for the cruise, you can buy tickets for the park's official cruise or at the pier you can join a private cruise.

Swim towards the park and then simply start walking along the road towards the central pool, from there you have to get on the big bridge that crosses the pool and follow the path according to the accepted walking direction in the place. After the bridge, a moderate ascent begins leading to the first observation point of the park where you can stop and take pictures. After that, take a few steps back towards the path from which we diverged towards the observation point and continue along the road according to the direction of walking and enjoy walking mainly on wooden bridges next to water and waterfalls. The route ends with a descent leading to the central pool where you can also bathe. We have not encountered any cases of theft, but this is a very touristic and popular site, so we learned in the field that next time, like other travelers there, it is recommended to have a waterproof bag in which you can put your valuables, enter the water with it and enjoy a fun, utopian and carefree bath.
