Flavours you can’t even imagine. Take a peek at Štrudlafest as thousands of people came to the opening on Friday to taste their favourite dessert – strudel.
Strudlafest once again showed all its splendour, but this time more than ever. Namely, this year this popular gastro festival offered a whole series of content, all of which were imbued with the finest smells and tastes of strudel.
This year, there was an abundance of traditional fruit flavours, but visitors also had the opportunity to taste unusual strudels, which are something completely new for our palates.
Strudel with aronia, rose petals, garlic and parsley, greens, bell pepper, with čvarci and cheese, lamb… These are just some of the magical flavours that delighted all those who like to try something new.
Thousands of people came to Jaškovo again this year, as well as Karlovac County. in addition to Štrudlafest in Jaškovo, Strudel Week was also held in the county, so fine tastes and smells spread everywhere. This year there are more than a hundred typos of strudels.
Visitors could enjoy gastronomic workshops, art workshops, enjoy a ranch with Scottish cattle, but there is also a real treat – in Brođani, you can ride on a grain boat with strudel.
For the kids, there is Rally kids corner, an adrenaline corner, a riding range, and much more. Many visitors also took the opportunity to enjoy Strudel by bike, Strudel by boat and new this year Strudel by horse.
Concerts by Crvena jabuka and Matija Cvek entertain visitors, whilst well known TV chef Tomislav Špiček is also there.
There are 40 locations throughout the Karlovac county that offer strudels at convenient prices.
Štrudlafest lasts until September 4, while Strudel Week lasts from until September 11.
