Štrudlafest will take place on the first weekend of September in Jaškovo near Ozalj just north of Karlovac.
From 1-3 September visitors can sample over a hundred different flavours – from classic fruity and savoury ones to those with cracklings, hemp, and lamb, and even ones with mushrooms and beer.
