Young players of the Šubićevac Tennis Club visiting Krka Eco Campus

The Public Institute of Krka National Park is proud to be a sponsor of the Šubićevac Tennis Club. This past Saturday, the young players of the club paid a visit to the newly completed Krka Eco Campus in Puljane and spent a fun day in the Park

As a visitor centre focusing on education, the Krka Eco Campus is an ideal destination for children, who are curious and playful by nature, as it offers everything that kids love: interactive exhibits and well equipped grounds with playground and information panels installed along the circular trails.

The Public Institute of Krka National Park acts in synergy with the local community, aiming to serve as a catalyser of development and be part of the successful community stories. We are particularly proud when our activities can support sports clubs and young athletes. As a protected natural area, Krka National Park places special emphasis on active time spent outdoors, by equipping walking trails and cycling routes, co-organising sporting events and recreational games for children. The Park is a proud partner of several professional sports clubs.

The young tennis players were accompanied by interpretation guides to view the two collections: scientific and archaeological. By using the newest technologies and designer solutions, these collections interpret the distinctive features of the park: the first collection displays the flora and fauna, and the geological and biological traits of the protected area, while the second collection exhibits numerous artefacts uncovered during systematic archaeological research in the area of the Burnum Roman military camp.

The children visited the Educational and interpretation centre called the Nature Laboratory, which is intended above all for preschool and primary children. The permanent museum collection includes six sections: geology, history, flora and fauna, nature protection, and scientific professions, inviting children to explore the world we live in by getting to know and trying out methods of different scientific disciplines and professions that deal with the study of nature and human attitudes towards nature.

The tennis players from Šibenik also visited the Burnum amphitheatre and the highest waterfall on the Krka, Manojlovac, which is situated near the Eco Campus. They took photographs from the viewpoint over the Brljan waterfall, discovering many (but not all) of the secrets of the magical upper course of the Krka River.
