30 August 2020 – The small Croatian town of Jaškovo, near Ozalj, which previously held the Guinness record for the world’s longest strudel – 1,479.38 metres – is continuing the story of its favourite pastry.

The 5th edition of the festival dedicated to the strudel, Strudel Fest, will be held on in September with a number of events. This year, due to the coronavirus and the resulting measures, there are changes to the way Strudel Fest will be held.
