The small Croatian town of Jaškovo, near Karlovac, which previously held the Guinness record for the world’s longest strudel – 1,479.38 metres – is continuing the traditional story of its favourite pastry with the 6th edition of Strudel Fest. 

The festival this year will take place from 3-5 September and the charming village of Jaškovo is preparing a unique combination of gastronomy, sports, culture, art, but also a lot of fun for young and old.

Strudel Fest is a real paradise for strudel lovers because in addition to the delicious flavours of homemade strudel that you can buy at dozens of stalls, strudel is all around you.
