About the museum
The nature interpretation centre Krka – vrelo života is located in Kistanje, at the western entrance to Krka National Park. In a modern and interactive way, it presents the value of water for life on Earth and the story of the river that for centuries has shaped the landscape, culture and life of the people in Šibenik-Knin County.
Through several interpretation sections, interactive exhibitions and fourteen audio points, visitors follow the story from ancient mills and Roman camps to the first hydroelectric plant in Europe that produced alternating current. The centre is the main access point on the western side of the park, near the Roman military camp of Burnum and the Manojlovac Waterfall.
