Krka National Park (the park's Croatian designation) hosted the Heritage in the Hands of the Future workshop and guided tour at Skradinski buk on 3 October 2026. The programme in Croatia's Sibenik region focused on cultural and ethnographic heritage connected with the Krka River.
Heritage in the Hands of the Future took place on 3 October
The programme ran from 11am to 2pm on 3 October 2026 as part of Croatia's European Heritage Days. The Public Institution Krka National Park organised the event, which combined a guided visit with a workshop for children.
The programme introduced participants to traditional knowledge and skills associated with life along the river. The official heritage programme lists the event as a workshop and tour at Skradinski buk, with the restored watermills as a central point of the visit. Its official programme entry places the event at the national park and names the park institution as organiser.
Skradinski buk linked watermills with living heritage
Skradinski buk is the final and longest tufa barrier on the Krka River. The park describes the former watermills as restored structures that demonstrate older trades, giving the 3 October programme a direct setting for its focus on traditional skills.
The waterfall area has a 1,900-metre educational walking trail. The route passes wooden bridges, watermills and an ethnographic collection that records the economic history of Sibenik and the surrounding region. The river also runs over 17 travertine steps at Skradinski buk, across a waterfall system with a total elevation difference of 45.7 metres, according to the park's Skradinski buk trail guide.
This connection between a scheduled heritage programme and the restored watermills is specific to the site. Visitors were not simply offered a general cultural presentation: the activity used the historic river facilities and the waterfall route to explain how earlier communities worked and used local resources.
