NÁRODNÝ PARK KRKA
KRKA – klenot Chorvátska je jedným z najmladších národných parkov, ktorý si možno prezrieť peši, autom alebo loďou. Je tu istá nápadná zvuková zhoda medzi pomenovaním národného parku a neďalekého chorvátskeho ostrova Krk, avšak netreba si ich zamieňať. Národný park Krka je výnimočný množstvom vodopádov.
Všeobecné informácie
Národný park dostal svoj názov podľa významnej rieky Krka, ktorá si svoju 72 km cestu k moru razí cez kaňon, čím vytvára množstvo jazier a zaujímavých vodopádov. Rieka Krka vyviera formou krasového prameňa na úpätí Dinárskych vrchov v blízkosti mestečka Knin a ústi pri Šibeniku. Jej väčšia časť, konkrétne stredný a dolný tok boli v roku 1985 vyhlásené za národný park.
Národný park Krka sa rozprestiera na ploche 142 km2, kde leží Knin, Drniš a Šibenik. Na mape ho nájdete situovaný v Šibenicko-knínskej župe. Má sedem travertínových vodopádov: Bilušiča buk (22,4 m), Čoriča buk zvaný aj Brljan (15,5 m), Manojlovacké vodopády (sled niekoľkých vodopádov vysokých 59,6 m, hlavný stupeň má výšku 32 m), Rošnjak (8,4 m), Miljacka slap (23,8 m), Roški slap (26,5 m) a Skradinski buk (17 kaskád, ktorých celková výška meria 45,7 m).
Jednu zo zvláštnosti predstavuje jav, že v oblasti od posledného vodopádu až po ústie do mora je voda v rieke slaná. Táto skutočnosť nachádza svoje opodstatnenie, či vysvetlenie v nasledovnom fakte: počas doby ľadovej sa značne zvýšila hladina Jadranu, čo spôsobilo zaliatie údolia rieky Krka.
Vodopády národného parku
K najnavštevovanejším, najkrajším a najmohutnejším vodopádom patrí Roški slap a Skradinski buk.
Roški slap má dĺžku 650 m, na ktorej leží 12 vodopádov s celkovým spádom cca 27 km. Na tomto mieste stojí najstaršia hydrocentrála, ktorá už od roku 1906 zásobuje elektrickou energiou neďaleký Šibenik.
Za týmto vodopádom vytvára rieka tzv. Visovacké jazero, ktorého názov bol odvodený od ostrovčeka zvaného Visovac umiestneným priamo v srdci zeleného jazera. Za vysokými korunami stromov vidieť týčiaci sa františkánsky kláštor, ktorý od roku 1400 až po dnes obývajú františkáni. Kláštor ukrýva vo svojich komnatách cenné historické pamiatky, ako sú knihy, 620 tureckých dokumentov, hodnotné obrazy a umelecké predmety (napr. šable a iné). To všetko, ba aj viac môžete obdivovať v kláštornom múzeu.
K zážitkom neobyčajného rázu patrí plavba člnom po vodopáde Skradinski buk. Ak však nepatríte k dobrodruhom od kosti, park vám ponúka prehliadku tohto vodopádu aj prostredníctvom prechádzky po mostoch a chodníkoch. V jeho menej búrlivejšej časti je povolené aj kúpanie.
Fauna a flóra
Národný park Krka je nesmierne bohatý najmä na rôzne druhy vtákov. Údajne možno hovoriť až o 222 druhov vtákov (holuby, sláviky, sokoly alebo jastraby). Tento vysoký počet prezrádza mnoho o pestrosti vtáctva, čím si Krka vydobyla status najhodnotnejšej ornitologickej oblasti v Európe. Turisti tu môžu obdivovať aj ukážky sokoliarskych zručností, pretože tu sídli jediné sokoliarske centrum v Chorvátsku.
Rozmanitú faunu národného parku dopĺňajú rôznorodé druhy rýb a iných vodných živočíchov, ako je napr. vydra.
Vďaka drsnejším podmienkam a ľudským zásahom sa tu výdatne darí čiernej borovici. Na brehoch jazier je rozšírená močiarna vegetácia.
Niekoľko zaujímavosti na záver
V úseku okolo rieky Krka je oblasť výdatná na pozostatky antických osád a mnohé predhistorické náleziská. Medzi chránené kultúrne pamiatky sa počítajú aj zachované zvyšky rímskeho vodovodu.
Turisti určite neobídu ani etnologické múzeum, ktoré sídli v jednom zo starých mlynov na brehu rieky. Prehliadnuť sa nedajú ani drobné mlyny, ktoré ešte aj v dnešnej dobe dobre slúžia na mletie pšenice a kukurice.
Krka National Park
KRKA - the jewel of Croatia is one of the newest national parks, which can be viewed on foot, by car or boat. There's a certain sound striking correlation between naming a national park near the Croatian island of Krk, but should not be confused them. Krka National Park is an exceptional number of waterfalls.
General information
National Park got its name according to a major river Krka, who have realized their 72 km paves the way to the sea through the canyon, which creates a lot of interesting lakes and waterfalls. Krka river springs in the form of karst springs at the foot of the Dinara Mountains near the town of Knin and Sibenik in the estuary. Its greater part, namely the middle and lower flow in 1985 was declared a national park.
Krka National Park covers an area of ??142 km 2, which lie Knin and Sibenik Drniš. On the map you can find it situated in Sibenik-Knin County. He has seven travertine waterfalls: Bilušiča beech (22.4 meters), also called beech Coric Brljan (15.5 m), Manojlovacké Falls (a sequence of several waterfalls 59.6 meters high, main level has a height of 32 m), Rošnjak (8, 4 m), Miljacka slap (23.8 m), Roski slap (26.5 m) and beech Skradinski (17 cascades, which in total measured 45.7 meters).
One of the particularities of a phenomenon that in the last waterfall up to the sea is salty water in a river. This fact finds its justification, or explanation in the following fact: during the last ice age has significantly increased the level of the Adriatic, causing sealing of the Krka river valley.
Falls National Park
The most visited, most beautiful and the waterfall is najmohutnejším Roski slap and Skradinski beech.
Roski slap a length of 650 m, on which lies 12 waterfalls with a total gradient around 27 km. At this point, is the oldest hydroelectric plant, which since 1906, supplies electricity nearby Sibenik.
For this waterfall creates the so-called river. Visovacké lake, whose name was derived from the island called Visovac located in the heart of Green Lake. For the high canopy seen towering Franciscan monastery, which since 1400 until now occupied by the Franciscans.

Thanks to the rougher conditions and human interference are here abundantly thrive black pine. On the shores of lakes, marsh vegetation is widespread.

In the section about the Krka river area is abundant in the remains of ancient settlements and a number of prehistoric sites. Among the protected cultural monuments are counted and preserved remnants of a Roman aqueduct.
Tourists certainly will also affect the ethnological museum, which is located in one of the old mill on the river bank. Can not be overlooked or small mills, which still today are well served for grinding wheat and maize.

This was an initiative to knit more sweaters I can wear to work. This turned out to be one of my favorite sweaters. I just love working with unspun Icelandic (plötulopi). The range of natural colors is great enough to allow for a fade-out effect.
I have definitely slowed my roll on being a sneaker enthusiast. But I couldn't help but resist to get the new release of the Air Jordan Retro 6 - Olympic edition. I had always wanted the version from the year 2000, but I couldn't afford to pay that much for something I would want to wear. Luckily my sister's boyfriend didn't want this release so she ended up helping me get a pair :) Thank you sis!
I have some plans in mind to convert the midsole new blue, back to white like the original version from 2000. After I test it out on other shoe's of course!

Aí eu tava lá no Loucas por Esmaltes e vi links para essa unha aqui e eu quis fazer algo parecido. Usei o Missão Azul [Colorama] de base e uma misturinha Rock Coat da Dior fake, que aprendi a fazer aqui. O glitter usado foi o Sublime [Impala] e eu adorei o resultado, apesar de não ter ficado exatamente do jeito que eu queria, como sempre, haha!
E hoje comprei 3 esmaltes d'O Boticário, depois coloco fotos. E fiz um pedido lá no Brechó da KK, porque sempre vejo vocês falando super bem de lá. :D
Bom restinho de final de semana, suas lindas! E feliz dia das mães pra quem já é mamãe e/ou para a mamãe de vocês! Que vocês possam curtir com as suas, porque a minha mora lá em Goiás e eu tô com saudades, miu. :(
