This June, besides enjoying the beauties of our delightful region, of which we are so proud, come and meet your hosts, find out how the natural particularities and historical circumstances shaped our culture, and find out, first-hand, the evolution of the authentic life of this region through its turbulent past to this day. At the peak of spring, we organize in the Plitvice valleys a whole series of events during which you can join our festivities, take part in our customs, be amazed by our myths and legends, and also be a part of our everyday life. Together we will celebrate the feast of St. Anthony, reward children for the successful completion of another school year, do some recreational sports activities enjoyed by generations of our residents, travel to the past in order to better understand our present, and lay the foundations for an even brighter future.

Legends of Plitvice Valleys 

June 10, Old Town of Drežnik

Moreover, we will travel all the way to the Middle Ages and discover in the magnificent Old Town of Drežnik how, from the fascinating history of our region, amazing legends came to life that even the descendants of our descendants will still be recounting breathlessly to their own descendants. Children will enjoy the performance of the Me Do play, participate in an art colony, and also try their hand at archery and throwing axes, daggers, and spears. We will get acquainted with the tradition of the brave Seressaner, members of the elite unit of the former army of the Military Frontier, and we will have a unique opportunity to wear their awe-inspiring traditional uniform. When it gets dark, the sounds of medieval weapons being shot will mark the beginning of the night fights of knights, and all the disputes will be forgotten when the performer enters the scene and, with song and dance, leads a party that will last until the wee hours of the night. In short, it will be legendary!
