Krka Monastery
The Krka Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery located about 3 km from the city Kistanje in the northern part of the National park Krka. It can be reached by car or by boat from Roski Slap. Visiting the monastery is possible with a valid ticket for the mainland areas of the national park. If you will be arriving by car, you can buy the ticket at the information desk right before arriving to the monastery.
As the monastery is still in use and has students living and studying there, visitors are only allowed to visit the roman catacombs and the orthodox church, and only under supervision of a national park employee. At the courtyard, through which the visitors have to pass in order to get to the catacombs and the church, there is a photo restriction. At the inside part of the monastery, there is also a souvenir shop which sells religious artifacts, wine and other products manufactured by the priests.
At the outside part, visitors can walk around on the laid out trails which run around the lake.
Getting to Krka Monastery
As I mentioned above, there are two ways of getting to the monastery.
By car: The city Kistanje is located 23 km from the highway exit nr. 20, once you reach the city you have clear signs towards the Krka Monastery. Be aware that there is a very limited parking space when you get down to the monastery. On the way down, you will pass by a newly built viewpoint from where you can see the monastery.
By boat: From Roški Slap, there are boat trips with 30 minutes stop at the monastery, round trip has a total duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes. The price for the boat is not included in the national park entrance ticket but has to be paid additionally (100 Kuna).
Other info:
Tickets: if you have purchased a general admission ticket at one of the other national park entrances, that one is also valid for a visit to the monastery. If you have no ticket and only wish to visit the monastery, you can buy a ticket valid only for the monastery, Burnum and Puljane. Price is 40 Kuna in July and August, for the rest of the year the price is 30 Kuna.
