Tourists typically spend about an hour exploring this landmark, taking time to appreciate the natural beauty and learn from their guide about the geological processes that shaped it. Unlike other waterfalls around the world, Skradinski buk is unique in its continuous flow throughout the year due to its underground spring sources, making it a year-round attraction.

Visitors typically spend around half an hour here, walking along trails that offer stunning views of the waterfall from various angles.
