Baska. That way, Baska can be considered a place “at the end of the world,” and it is known that such places have to be visited. Accordingly, you shouldn’t think for a moment whether you should come to Baska. You simply must!
At one point, the road will lead you only along the basin of the only river on the
Island of Krk which is named Vela Rika ("Big river"), even though it often dries up. You will cross two bridges and passing through a big road curve, you will notice the water mill which used to power millstones, ground wheat and produced flour. It was not that long time ago: the island of Krk remembers harvests some fifty years ago!
Vela Rika and the road come together at the sea delta right before Baska. And from the sea, the real source of existence of Baska inhabitants, the tourism, can be seen. The whole town formed a semi-circle like a crescent along
