Planina Uskovnica

Located at an elevation of 1136 meters, Planina Uskovnica features 140 traditional huts with spruce shingle roofs extending near the ground level.

The pasture, first documented in 1489, endured significant damage during World War II when German forces destroyed 150 structures and removed livestock from the area.

From June to September, herdsmen inhabit the mountain pasture, maintaining livestock and producing fresh dairy products according to traditional methods.

Visitors can reach the pasture through an 8-kilometer dirt road from Srednja Vas or a 3-kilometer route from Rudno polje, with parking available near the guesthouse.

The mountain pasture serves as a departure point for numerous hiking trails leading to peaks like Veliki Draški vrh at 2243 meters and Viševnik at 2050 meters.
