Šibenik – an ancient city about 1,000 years old, hidden between the mountains with their ancient fortresses dominate the skyline. Šibenik is known as the seat of Croatian medieval kings. The city suffered in the civil war with Serbia and was damaged hard, but it was quickly rehabilitated after the war. We will walk through the old city, in the square of the Croatian Republic, we will see the St. Jacob’s Cathedral, the most important renaissance structure in Croatia. It is built entirely of stone and without any wooden supports We will pass by the city hall and walk through the two central pedestrian streets of the city Crossing squares and colourful and well-kept houses. There is an option for hikers to climb (about 20 minutes uphill walk) to St Mihovil Fort, with a spectacular panoramic view of the city, the harbor and the Šibenik Bay.

Krka national park is another nature wonder in Croatia that attracts many visitors every year. The karst river, rushing through the sediment rock, with beautiful waterfalls and abundant wildlife are a perfect place for a 2-hours nature walk – a day of 100% nature ahead!

This nature reserve consists of a cascade system with 12 spectacular waterfalls connected in a glittering string within the Krka River. This landscape image stems from a combination of several natural phenomena: Alluvial soil rich in minerals, refraction of the sun’s rays in the vegetation and the tall trees and the eddies of the water – all these create fascinating light and colour formations. We will tour the upper part of the reservation, passing through dense vegetation along the flow path of the Krka River. The path crosses small streams and tributaries crossed with lovely wooden bridges. The amounts of water flowing are
enormous and impressive. The park is rich in geological natural phenomena, vegetation and fish.

It is a centre of attraction for birds enthusiasts from all over Europe. For a careful observer, there is a chance of spotting various amphibians, insects, snakes, fish and mammals (such as the otter, a mammal that excels at swimming and fishing) and cats.
