The Vuglec Breg tourist village is the embodiment of the creative vision of the Vuglec family who want their ancestors' heritage to have lasting value.
The estate of Vuglec Breg stretches over 12 hectares. You can enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding hills dotted with houses, cottages and churches from the house situated on a small hill.

Each of the houses has been upgraded and renovated in a traditional style with a unique and simple interior design.

There you will also find a horse stable, a small lake, 2 tennis and futsal courts, a children's playground, lawns and walking trails.
Before dinner, treat yourself (payment on spot) to some home-made rakija (fruit brandy), such as šljivovica (made from plums), travarica (made from herbs), lozovača (made from grapes) and many other types at the Pelnica bar, which is located in the restaurant.
