Hi Morten,
If I want to go to Krka NP from Split by bus, will the bus stop in front of krka NP or this bus will end in Skradin ?

Hi Joyce,
the bus from Split will stop in Skradin about 200 metres from the national park ticket office, In October you still have boat from Skradin to the Park Entrance in Skradinski Buk.
You can check out my Video where I did the trip with the boat her
