Visovac Monastery

A Franciscan monastery and church on the island of Visovac in the middle of the lake. It is the best-known monument of the Krka valley and the reason the lake carries the island's name.

Visiting Visovac

The island can be reached only by boat. From Stinice or Remetić it is a short ride of about five minutes with about 30 minutes ashore, hourly in the middle of the day; from Skradinski buk a two-hour round trip with about 30 minutes on the island, or a four-hour version that goes on to Roški slap. The stop covers the monastery, the church and a small museum. It is an active place of worship that still receives pilgrims, so dress appropriately. Excursions generally run from April to October.
