JAŠKOVO, 8 September 2019 – The small central Croatian town of Jaškovo played host on Sunday to the 4th edition of the festival dedicated to the strudel, ŠtrudlaFest.

One of the features of the ŠtrudlaFest was a competition to find the best strudel in the country. The winners were a team of ladies from the village of Severin na Kupi in Gorski Kotar. The KUD Frankopan team won over the jury with their taste of apple and chokeberry and took the title of the best strudel in Croatia.
