Lozovac

Lozovac is a small Dalmatian settlement about 15 kilometres from Šibenik, best known as Krka National Park’s main road entrance. Private cars stop at the large car park beside the reception area; from April to October, park buses carry individual visitors down towards Skradinski buk. Travellers who prefer to arrive on foot can follow the 875-metre trail descending through woodland and rocky terrain. Below the entrance, a 1.9-kilometre one-way circuit crosses wooden footbridges among travertine cascades, restored watermills and the remains of the 1895 Krka hydroelectric plant. Lozovac therefore works less like a seaside resort and more like a convenient base for reaching the park’s busiest waterfall early in the day. Swimming at Skradinski buk is prohibited, so the visit is built around walking and interpretation rather than a riverside beach. After the circuit, visitors can consider boat excursions towards Visovac and Roški slap or return towards Tromilja, where local menus feature Dalmatian cured ham, spit-roasted meat and grilled dishes.

Lozovac’s identity is inseparable from the lower Krka: the settlement contains the principal road entrance used by independent travellers and tour coaches heading for Skradinski buk. It lies roughly 15 kilometres from Šibenik and connects through Tromilja with roads towards Drniš and the A1 motorway. Although part of the wider Šibenik area, its visitor rhythm follows that of Krka National Park. Activity concentrates around the reception area and car park, while the surrounding hamlets and stony Dalmatian hinterland retain a distinctly rural character.
