💡 Tips

Visit Bribirska Glavica at sunset for spectacular 360-degree views of the Krka canyon and the Adriatic islands.
Enter Krka National Park at the Lozovac gate at 8:00 AM to enjoy the waterfalls before the crowds arrive.
Take the boat to Visovac Monastery from Stinice for a shorter and more peaceful crossing than the main Skradin ferry.
Try the famous Skradin Risotto, a legendary veal dish traditionally slow-cooked for over 12 hours.
Look for indigenous wines like Debit and Lasina in the nearby village of Plastovo, home to world-class wineries.

Vaćani is located in the Šibenik hinterland, just a short drive from the pretty town of Skradin. The region has been inhabited since ancient times, as evidenced by the proximity to Bribirska Glavica, the 'Croatian Troy'. The village is surrounded by fertile fields and vineyards where the indigenous Debit grape variety thrives. Residents maintain a traditional way of life closely connected to the rhythm of agriculture. Culinarially, Vaćani is known for its excellent wines and olive oil. Many visitors use the village as a quiet base to explore the waterfalls of the Krka National Park without staying in the hustle and bustle of coastal resorts. Architecturally, the village features simple but robust stone houses and small chapels. The surroundings invite long walks through pine forests and macchia, where one often encounters remains of medieval fortifications. It is a place where history and nature meet harmoniously.
