- Traditional Wooden Houses — A cluster of carefully rebuilt rural houses and farm buildings made from timber and stone, giving a good, walk-through feel for how local villages looked a century ago; great for photos and poking into furnished rooms that show everyday tools and layout.
- Small Orthodox Church and Icon Corner — A quietly charming church with authentic icons and woodwork tucked into the village; it’s a peaceful spot that contrasts the louder tourist areas and gives a glimpse of local religious and artistic traditions.
- Man-made Lake with Swan Boats — A calm lake bordered by willow trees where you can rent a small boat or just sit and watch swans and ducks — especially pretty at golden hour and a nice break from sightseeing.

- Traditional Restaurant / Konoba — Rustic dining in a converted house serving hearty local fare: grilled meat, homemade pies, and rakija. Portions are simple and honest — a good place to try regional flavors without fuss.
- Working Mills and Artisan Demonstrations — Restored water mills and craft displays (pottery, woodworking, sometimes blacksmithing) that show old rural technologies in action — fun to see the hands-on side of traditional life.
- Picturesque Walkways and Photo Spots — Stone paths, arched bridges and carved wood details everywhere, so even a short stroll produces plenty of postcard-ready views; it’s one of the easiest places nearby to get convincing “old village” shots without trekking into the countryside.
- Events, Weddings and Folklore Nights — The site doubles as an event venue, so if you time it right you might catch live folk music, dance shows, or a local wedding — a lively way to experience culture beyond static exhibits.
