Enjoy a walk through the idyllic winter landscape, and head to the Imperial Lookout overlooking the lavish cascades of Skradinski buk to view the exhibit dedicated to the women of the Krka.

 “Women of the Krka” is a sequel of the emotional series of photographs called “People of the Krka” organised to celebrate the Park’s 37th birthday. Because humans have always lived along the banks of the Krka River, and the traces of human settlement in this area stretch back from prehistoric times to the industrialisation period, even today the local population is strongly bound to the river and the park area. That is why the Public Institute of Krka National Park has prepared a thematic exhibit of photographs dedicated to this population, entitled “People of the Krka”.

The concept of the exhibit is made up of photographs, taken since the establishment of the park, showing the faces of the people whose lives and work are tied to the Krka River, to the beauty of nature and the cultural and historical heritage that is so abundant in the area along the Krka River. “The Krka is an important part of the identity of the people of this area, and this exhibit aims to highlight their significance for the development of the park and the conservation of its natural and cultural heritage. The exhibit was designed as a gift and homage to the people who make sure that the park, in addition to its protected natural values, offers insight into the authentic cohabitation of man and nature, which has been ongoing for millennia here,” stated Nella Slavica, director of the Public Institute of Krka National Park.

Krka NP in March can be visited at a price of 50 kuna for adults and 30 kuna for children 7 to 18 years. Park is open 9 am to 5 pm.

International Women’s Day is celebrated on 8 March. On that day, the entire world celebrates the economic, political and social accomplishments of women. In their battle for equality, the right to vote and women’s emancipation, the first Women’s Day was celebrated in the USA in 1909. In 1977, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 8 March the official UN day for women’s rights and world peace, and since then, Women’s Day has been focused on specific topics or issues within the realm of women’s rights.
