Krcic Waterfall
A 22 metre fall that runs hard in spring and vanishes entirely by summer, where the Krka begins.

The Krcic rises under Dinara and runs about ten kilometres before dropping around 22 metres at Topolje - and at the foot of that fall the Krka is considered to begin, so this is the source of the river that makes the falls at Skradinski Buk downstream. The catch is that the Krcic is seasonal: it runs hard with snowmelt and spring rain and dries out completely in summer, so for a good part of the year there is a dry rock face and a bed of stones where the waterfall should be. Going in March or April means seeing it; going in August means seeing where it was.
What you actually see
- A 22 metre drop at Topolje - where the Krka is taken to begin.
- A river that dries completely - no water at all in summer.
- Snowmelt from Dinara - what feeds it in spring.
- A short path to the foot - from the road east of Knin.
When to go
March to May, while it is flowing; it is usually dry from June. Two hours.
Honest expectations
Visiting in summer means a dry cliff, which disappoints people who did not check. The path down is steep and slippery when the fall is running. There are no facilities. Parking is a roadside pull-in.
Nearby
Knin and its fortress are west; Dinara rises to the north-east.
