Krka National Park

You can actually swim in the lakes at Krka, which is strictly forbidden at Plitvice. Water is very cold....(Though they do keep you from swimming under the waterfalls)

The Krka National Park is located entirely within the territory of Šibenik-Knin County and encompasses an area of 109 square kilometers along the Krka River: two kilometers downriver from Knin to Skradin and the lower part of the river Čikola. The Krka National Park is a spacious, largely unchanged region of exceptional and multifaceted natural value, and includes one or more preserved or insignificantly altered ecosystems. The Krka Waterfalls has the second highest concentration of lavender per km squared in Europe, hence the high frequency of wasps and bees in the area.

It is the seventh national park in Croatia and was proclaimed a national park in 1985.
