Catch a view of the distinctive (summer) grandeur of the Krka River from a lookout point: Visovac<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visovac Island, surrounded by its recognizable landscape of poplars, and resting on the quiet, lake-like part of the river, is a site that one can enjoy from several places on the banks of the Krka River, but there is only one official lookout point. On it, his gaze focused on this \u201cIsland of Our Lady\u201d, stands Petar Sva\u010di\u0107, the last Croatian national king, holding a sword in one hand and in the other a shield.<\/p>\n

According to legend, Petar Sva\u010di\u0107, the last king of Croatian blood, was born in the castle of Kami\u010dak, raised above the cliffs of the Krka canyon, in the Miljevci plateau, by the edge of the village of Bri\u0161tane. In 2002, on the occasion of the celebration of the 900th anniversary of his death, a monument to him was erected at the top of the Visovac cliff, the work of the academy trained sculptor Ka\u017eimir Hraste.<\/p>\n

From this viewpoint, a serpentine road descends to Stinice, the dock for the ships that transport travellers and pilgrims to Visovac. This is where the mystic middle course of the Krka River begins. This impression is first heralded by \u201cOur Lady of Visovac\u201d, the \u201cwhite rock\u201d in the middle of the lake, where Franciscans have lived and prayed since the 15th century.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why this lookout point is ideal to stop for a little and admire the open nature of the setting before you head to the island itself or stroll through the centuries-old woods of downy oak and oriental hornbeam, where the pedestrian-footpath of Stinice \u2013 Ro\u0161ki slap \u2013 Ozi\u0111ana pe\u0107ina cave begins and where the Ku\u017eelj House Visitor Center is located.<\/p>\n
