Knin, a city of magic beauty, surely remains one of the Adriatic hinterland destinations that will take your breath away. Knin Fortress, which is one of the biggest and most beautiful European fortresses, or, more precisely, the second largest fortification on the continent, proudly stands as a witness to the important strategic role Knin has always had throughout the history. Four Croatian kings resided in it more than one thousand years ago, which is why Knin bears the proud title of the 'City of Croatian Kings'. It is a city surrounded by 9 tall mountains and beautiful lakes that are known as Colorful Lakes due to their spectacular colours. Seven powerful and clear rivers flow through Knin - the Krka River being one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe. Majestic Dinara, with the highest Croatian peak and unimaginably beautiful waterfall Krčić, quietly overlooks the city. Knin is the perfect choice if you're planning on visiting Central Dalmatia. There are national parks and nature parks in the vicinity of the city: National Park Dinara is the closest, Krka National Park is only a 15-minute drive away, and Paklenica National Park and Plitvice National Park are also nearby. The Colourful Lakes and the Cetina River source are just a short drive away, and Šibenik can be reached in 15 minutes if you're looking for nice beaches and clear blue sea to swim in. Due to this great location, Knin is a perfect destination for action-seeking tourists. You can choose between quad and buggy tours, canoeing down the river, horseback riding, Dinara jeep tours, hiking, hunting or fishing, and there are also 13 cycling routes in the city surroundings for you to enjoy. Don't forget to try some of the food delicacies to make your experience complete.
