## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- Swimming is not allowed at Skradinski buk (since 2021); older guides and some tour titles still suggest it.
- The Krka ticket price depends on the month: €7 in winter, €40 in summer for an adult. The GetYourGuide from-price is the low-season price.
- St Nicholas Fortress can only be visited on the official boat tour, and only in season (May to October in 2026).
- The Čikola zipline on this site is near Krka but is not part of the national park.
