Roski Slap Hot

Roski slap is placed on the contact of warm and dry and humid and shady places, and because of the rich canyon's vegetation it is very interesting to botanists. The name Roski Slap derives from the toponym of the fortress Rog.

The main cascade is placed at the end of travertine barrier where the river Krka swoops down from 15 meters altitude. Of all travertine forms on Roski Slap there are caves, furrows, thresholds, small barriers and cones. The cones appear on the foot of the main cascade and represent the specific quality of Roski slap. In 1910, on the right bank of the river there was constructed rapid hydroelectric power plant "Roski slap".

Across the travertine barriers there is a road that connected the bank of river Krka even in the Roman times. Established in 1985 the Krka National Park (Nacionalni Park Krka) protects the area around the middle and lower areas of the River Krka. As the river flows down from the upper reaches there are a series of lakes and rapids and the beautiful Roski Slap and Skradinski Buk waterfalls. At the center of the park is Lake Visovac, below the Roski Slap waterfalls. From here the Krka River joins up with the River Cikola, flowing over Skradinski Buk and out to the sea. The park is home to about 200 different bird species, including herons and egrets. It also has some cultural attractions including an Orthodox Krka Monastery (Arandjelovac), dating to the early 15th Century at the north end of the park and Samostan Visovac, the island monastery on Lake Visova. Krka National Park can be accessed from Lozovac, Miljevci, or Skradin. From Skradin boats run upriver to the waterfalls. It is also possible to reach Roski Slap from Miljevci.
