The number of visitors allowed in Krka National Park is limited. In 2017, the new procedure determines access to the Krka National Park at 10,000 visitors at any one time. Krka National Park is the most interactive National Park in Croatia. Therefore, this decision was necessary. While Plitvice lakes forbid swimming in its water before a decade ago, Krka still permits visitors to come in a large number.
