Krkom nizvodno od Ro\u0161koga slapa do otoka Visovca, povijesnom rutom, zaplovili su elektri\u010dnim katamaranom Nacionalnog parka \u201eKrka\u201c ko\u0161arka\u0161i GKK \u0160ibenik<\/strong><\/p>\n

U posjet otoku Visovcu, stoljetnom odredi\u0161tu hodo\u010dasnika iz cijelog svijeta, \u0161ibenska je ekipa plovila u ti\u0161ini, dobrodo\u0161loj nakon intenzivnih treninga i utakmica koje prati sna\u017ena i glasna podr\u0161ka navija\u010da. Izostanak buke i zaga\u0111enja gorivom, \u0161to izravno utje\u010de na dugoro\u010dno o\u010divanje prirode, karakteristike su Visovca i Miljevaca, dvaju brodova na elektromotorni pogon nabavljenih u sklopu \u0161ireg projekta Nepoznata Krka \u2013 skrivena blaga gornjeg i srednjeg toka rijeke Krke<\/em>, usmjerenog i na odr\u017eivi razvoj i o\u010duvanje ekosustava rijeke Krke.<\/p>\n

Na putu do Visovca ko\u0161arka\u0161i su mogli u\u017eivati u jednom od najljep\u0161ih prizora u Parku, kanjonu Me\u0111u gredama. Dug svega 500, \u0161irok od 50 do 100 m, usje\u010den u okomitim, surim stijenama visokim oko 150 m, taj se kanjon ubraja u geomorfolo\u0161ki najzanimljivije dijelove toka rijeke Krke. Iako kormilo broda dr\u017ee sigurne ruke iskusnih Krkinih kapetana, vodi\u010d nije propustio napomenuti da putnike \u010duva i sv. Nikola, za\u0161titnik pomoraca, kojemu je posve\u0107ena zavjetna kapelica na lijevoj obali kanjona. Ne\u0161to ni\u017ee na istoj obali Krke, na sredini kanjona, u \u017eivoj stijeni nalazi se manji rasjed u kojem se, \u010dudnom igrom prirode, svako glasanje pretvara u trostruku jeku, \u0161to su de\u010dki imali priliku i sami isprobati. Iako ne tako stari da bi se s nostalgijom sje\u0107ali filmova o njemu, ali dovoljno mladi da pamte dje\u010dje igre, sa zanimanjem su pratili pri\u010du o najpopularnijem filmskom indijanskom poglavici, Winnetouu, koji je \u0161ezdesetih godina pro\u0161log stolje\u0107a jahao upravo tim kanjonom.<\/p>\n

Kanjon se \u0161iri u Visova\u010dko jezero, nastalo izdizanjem sedrene barijere Skradinskog buka. Na naj\u0161irem dijelu jezera smje\u0161ten je otok Visovac, nekad zvan Bijela stijena (Lapis albus)<\/em>, opasan visokim jablanovima. Na njemu su crkvica i samostan, okru\u017eeni mirisnim mediteranskim vrtom. Visovac je otok mira i molitve, stoljetno odredi\u0161te hodo\u010dasnika iz cijeloga svijeta, ali i izletnika, na kojemu je i ko\u0161arka\u0161e do\u010dekala dobrodo\u0161lica: pozdravili su ih i stanovnici otoka gotovo poznatiji od samih franjevaca, gizdavi paunovi \u017eivopisnih boja.<\/p>\n

Oba visova\u010dka sakralna objekta posve\u0107ena su Gospi Visova\u010dkoj, \u010diju su sliku, prema legendi, franjevci donijeli kada su stigli na otok 1445. Otok \u010duvaju i ferman sultana Mehmeda IV., iz 17. stolje\u0107a, koji mu jam\u010di sigurnost, i sablja Vuka Mandu\u0161i\u0107a, narodnog junaka koji se proslavio u borbi s Turcima. Osim njih, u samostanskoj zbirci pohranjeni su brojni vrijedni predmeti, inkunabule i umjetnine. Papa Inocent XI. u 16. je stolje\u0107u dekretom dodijelio oprost svima onima koji ga na Visovcu zatra\u017ee 2. kolovoza, kada katolici slave Gospu od An\u0111ela.<\/p>\n

\nThe basketball players of the club GKK \u0160ibenik visiting Visovac and Ro\u0161ki slap<\/strong>
\nThe basketball players of the club GKK \u0160ibenik sailed the historical route of the Krka River downstream from Ro\u0161ki slap to Visovac Island on the electric catamaran of Krka National Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u0160ibenik team sailed to Visovac Island, for centuries a destination for pilgrims from all around the world, in complete silence, so welcome after intensive workouts and games accompanied by the loud cheering of fans. The two new electric boats \u2013 Visovac and Miljevci \u2013 sail without any noise or fuel pollution, which directly impacts the long-term conservation of nature. These boats were procured as part of the project \u201cUnknown Krka \u2013 hidden treasures of the upper and middle course of the Krka River\u201d, with the aim of ensuring the sustainable development and preservation of the ecosystem of the Krka River.<\/p>\n

En route to Visovac, the basketball players were able to enjoy one of the Park\u2019s loveliest landscapes, the Me\u0111u gredama canyon. Just 500 metres long and from 50 to 100 metres wide, cut deep into the vertical, bare cliffs up to 150 metres tall, the canyon is considered one of the most geomorphologically interesting parts of the Krka River. Though the experienced Krka captains hold fast the ship\u2019s helm, the guide did not fail to mention that the passengers are protected by St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors, as they passed by the votive chapel on the left bank of the chapel that is consecrated to this saint. Further downstream on the same bank, in the middle of the canyon, there is a small fault line in the cliff, which turns every sound into a triple echo as a play of nature, which the players had a chance to try out themselves. Though not old enough to fondly remember the series of films about the Indian chief Winnetou, but still young enough to remember children\u2019s games, they listened with interest about how in the 1960s, the character rode on horseback right here in the canyon during the filming of the series.<\/p>\n

The canyon then expands into Visovac Lake, created by the raising of the travertine barrier at Skradinski buk. At the broadest part of the lake is Visovac Island, formerly called Bijela stijena (Lapis albus, <\/em>meaning White rock)<\/em>, its banks lined with tall poplar trees. On it are the church and monastery, surrounded by the fragrant Mediterranean garden. Visovac is an island of peace and prayer, for centuries a destination for pilgrims and visitors from around the world. The basketball players received a special warm welcome, greeted by the residents of the island that are almost more famous as the Franciscan monks \u2013 the colourful peacocks.<\/p>\n

Both of the sacral structures on the island are consecrated to Our Lady of Visovac. Legend has it that the Franciscans brought a painting of Our Lady when they settled on the island in 1445. The island also houses the ferman<\/em>, or royal decree of Sultan Mehmed IV from the 17th<\/sup> century guaranteeing the residents security, and the sabre of Vuk Mandu\u0161i\u0107, the national hero celebrated for his role in battling the Turks. The monastery collection also houses numerous valuable items, such as incunables and artwork. In the 16th<\/sup> century, Pope Innocent XI issued a decree granting forgiveness for all those who seek it on Visovac Island every year on 2 August, when Catholics celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Angels.<\/p>\n
