to avoid comparisons to Plitvice, so I'll just give in: While not as magical or as expansive
as Plitvice's cascades, Skradinski Buk is bigger (a single grand run, rather than sprinkled
throughout a canyon) and less crowded. And, crucially, at Skradinski Buk, swimmers are

swimmers are basically nonexistent, I'd recommend this only for hardy paddlers who enjoy
a good, rugged swimmin' hole.)
